[Asia Economy Reporter Koo Chae-eun] Woo Sang-ho, the Democratic Party of Korea's preliminary candidate for Seoul mayor, pledged on the 18th to provide youth job-seeking allowances of up to 6 million won per year to young people in Seoul.


On the morning of the same day at the National Assembly, Woo stated, "I will definitely take responsibility for youth housing and jobs," and announced policies for youth and university students. The pledges presented by Woo include ▲expansion of youth job-seeking allowances ▲provision of youth housing vouchers ▲creation of the Seoul-type youth housing community 'Youth Seoul Home' ▲expansion of internships at Seoul-affiliated institutions ▲measures for youth reclusive loners.


Woo said, "I will make Seoul a city that extends a warm hand to young people in difficulty and where youth can dream of tomorrow."



After announcing the policies, Woo met with reporters and criticized preliminary candidate Park Young-sun's real estate pledges, saying, "They conflict with the Moon Jae-in administration's policies," and added, "The general election is a battle of identity and differentiated policies against opposition candidates, so if I go forward with policies and identities similar to those of opposition candidates, it will be difficult to win in the general election."
