[Asia Economy Reporter Park Cheol-eung] "Now I don't miss you. I don't even want to see you. The love I had is fading away. Quietly."


This is part of the lyrics from the song 'Rain and You.' Woo Sang-ho, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea and the first candidate for the Seoul mayoral by-election from the party, posted on his Facebook on the 20th, saying, "There is a song that citizens are sending to Representative Ahn Cheol-soo. I hope you savor it tonight."


Woo said, "(Representative Ahn) announced just 18 days ago that he had no intention of running for Seoul mayor," adding, "I question whether changing one's position in just 18 days is an appropriate behavior for a politician."


He continued, "A few years ago, I referred to Representative Ahn as a national treasure of Yeouido for changing his words, but politicians who change their words at least apologize," he criticized.


Woo viewed Ahn's declaration to run for Seoul mayor as a move with the presidential election in mind. Woo said, "At some point, politicians aiming for the presidency have started to treat the Seoul mayor position as a political stepping stone," adding, "This is clearly an insult to the citizens of Seoul."



He added, "Moreover, suddenly calling himself the unified opposition candidate without any agreement among opposition parties is an insult and arrogance toward other opposition parties."
