“I don’t think there is a situation in Seoul to worry about the deficit.”
Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon, the power of the people, drew a line saying, “It is not a situation to worry about” about the cumulative deficit of 120 billion won in Sebitseom. Sebitseom was built as part of the’Han River Renaissance’ project that Candidate Se-Hoon Oh enthusiastically promoted during his tenure as the mayor of Seoul, but as of last year, the debt reached 119.5 billion won and entered a state of complete capital erosion.

Candidate Se-Hoon Oh met supporters along with Ahn Cheol-soo, head of the National Assembly Party, at the Hangang Citizen Park, where Sebit Island is located. It was designed to highlight one’s past achievements. In a meeting with reporters afterwards, Candidate Oh boasted, “In fact, there were many misunderstandings and criticisms when creating this Hangang Civic Park and Sebitseom, but now Lee Yong is settled.” The supporters gathered around responded by chanting “Oh Se-hoon”.
Candidate Oh said, “The total number of Sebitseom is 10 million, and the total number of people in the Hangang Civic Park is about 800 million.” It looks like there are probably far more than 1 billion people,” he said.
He said, “Anyway, I’m grateful to see a lot of people in the midst of such a good weather today.” I promised that I will make a lot more places like’Yeontral Park (Yeonhui-dong + Central Park)’.”
However, Candidate Oh asked for a solution to Sevit’s cumulative deficit. <오마이뉴스>In response to the question, “Sebitseom is a private investment industry.” He said, “If you look at the close things that Seoul has invested in, it’s all that SH Seoul Urban Housing Corporation owns 30% of the shares.” SH Corporation invested 30% on the premise of securing 30% of the available space,” he explained.
He said, “As you probably remember, the door was opened two to three years after Mayor Park Won-soon took office.” Turned. Candidate Oh added, “The deficit has accumulated tremendously. It is very harsh for private investors who have invested.” However, he did not come up with a specific answer on the solution to the deficit.
Sebitseom, which was completed in 2011, was opened only in 2014 due to safety issues such as torrential rains and problems of selecting an operator. Hyosung T&C owns 57.8% and SH Corporation 29.9%. However, it has recorded a deficit of billions of won every year since its opening.

Next, Candidate Se-Hoon Oh <오마이뉴스>I also received questions about water taxis from. The water taxi is one of the signature policies of the Han River Renaissance, and it was also a project that Candidate Oh actively promoted and introduced during the mayor’s days. However, as of 2019, the average number of users per day was only 5, and it is considered as a failed business, recording a deficit of 2 billion to 3 billion won each year. On this day, the water taxi ticket office located near Sebit Island was closed.
Candidate Oh, however, said, “Water taxis are also public transportation means such as subways and buses.” It was also attributed to the lack of support from the former market.
He said, “I think water taxis are a business that can generate enough profits like the Thames River in England, as long as it is connected with public transportation such as buses and subways.” “We will have the infrastructure so that it can be used.”
