[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Jung-yoon] Oh Se-hoon, the candidate of the United Future Party running in Seoul Gwangjin-gu Eul, a key battleground in the 21st National Assembly general election, cast his vote at the No. 2 polling station in Jayang 3-dong, Gwangjin-gu, Seoul, along with his wife Song Hyun-ok.

Wearing a brown checkered jacket and a white mask, Candidate Oh arrived at the polling station around 7:38 a.m. To prevent the spread of COVID-19, he had his temperature checked and applied hand sanitizer before waiting to vote. After greeting polling station staff and voters, Candidate Oh completed his voting around 7:46 a.m.

At the site, he said, "Having done my best, I will wait with a praying heart and a humble mind," adding, "Since I did my best, I expect that I might have received a few more votes."

He continued, "Candidate Ko Min-jung’s election law violation was referred to the prosecution for investigation yesterday, but it takes two to three days for voters to fully understand this fact and vote accordingly," and added, "I regret that such measures should have been taken before early voting to make an accurate judgment."

The Gwangjin Eul Election Commission referred three people, including Ko Min-jung, the Democratic Party candidate, and her election manager, to the prosecution on charges of violating the election law for producing campaign materials containing support statements from a resident autonomy committee member who was not allowed to campaign on the 14th.

Meanwhile, four candidates, including Candidate Oh, are running in Gwangjin Eul, where Candidate Oh and Candidate Ko are engaged in a close race until the final moments.
