Oh, who succeeded in his re-election in the Jeju-si Eul electoral district, said on the 15th, "I thank the citizens of Jeju-si who gave me generous support. Rather than competitive politics, I will focus solely on the citizens of Jeju-si through politics of 'solidarity' and 'cooperation.'"

He stated, "I will do my best to pass the 'Special Act on the Investigation of the Jeju 4·3 Incident, Restoration of Honor, and Compensation for Victims' (hereinafter referred to as the Jeju 4·3 Special Act Amendment)."

Wi said, "Voters appreciated my sincere communication efforts, awareness of current issues, and policy alternatives," and expressed his election sentiment, "I will do my best to help Seogwipo, which has fallen into crisis due to COVID-19, to rise again."

Wi added, "Since the citizens have given me another chance, as a re-elected lawmaker, I will engage in productive legislative activities to build a greater Seogwipo together."

In Jeju-gap, where the vote count rate is 63%, Democratic Party candidate Song Jae-ho (45.6%) is more than 5 percentage points ahead of candidate Jang Seong-cheol (40.0%), making his election certain.
