[Asia Economy Reporter Koo Chae-eun] On the 17th, lawyer Gwak Sang-eon, son-in-law of former President Roh Moo-hyun, virtually expressed his support by stating that he would cheer for Woo Sang-ho, the preliminary candidate for Seoul mayor from the Democratic Party of Korea.

On that day, Lawyer Gwak visited the office of Woo’s campaign in Yeouido, Seoul, saying, "It is unfortunate that Woo candidate’s approval rating is not rising," and added, "I believe politics requires a deep empathy for others' pain. Woo candidate has his own pain but is better at feeling others' pain and does not ignore it." He continued, "Seoul citizens need comfort and hope, and Woo candidate will provide that," and said, "I will cheer enthusiastically."

Woo responded, "During this Lunar New Year holiday, I visited the grave of President Roh Moo-hyun and resolved to fulfill the dreams that President Roh could not achieve," and said, "I am grateful that Lawyer Gwak visited to show his support." He added, "Putting aside these issues, I see this as a meeting between senior and junior politicians, and I pledge to act as a mentor to Gwak Sang-eon through my 20 years of experience and wisdom."

Regarding Lawyer Gwak’s supportive visit, Woo’s camp explained, "It seems that Woo candidate’s emphasis on the value of ordinary people and humanity aligns with Lawyer Gwak’s values, which made him want to help."
