[Asia Economy Reporter Naju-seok] Oh Se-hoon, the People Power Party candidate for Seoul mayor, confirmed that there was no additional compensation received related to the compensation of Naegok-dong owned by his wife's family. The allegation of additional compensation claimed by Park Yeo-seon, the Democratic Party candidate for Seoul mayor, is not true.

On the 30th, Kim Eun-hye, spokesperson for the People Power Party Central Election Committee, stated, "Democratic Party candidate Park Young-sun raised suspicions during the 100-minute debate that candidate Oh Se-hoon might have received additional compensation in Naegok-dong, but upon verification, candidate Oh did not receive any additional compensation."


Spokesperson Kim explained, "According to the document mentioned by candidate Park, land allocation rights are granted to owners with a certain minimum area, but candidate Oh's spouse only owned one-eighth of the share, so they were excluded from the allocation rights." However, regarding the second brother-in-law, it was confirmed that he purchased the allocation rights for 730 million won but also sold them for the same amount.



Spokesperson Kim criticized, "Since candidate Oh and his spouse were not even eligible for allocation, there was no way the candidate could have known. It is absurd to slander by portraying the spouse, who inherited the land 50 years ago as an elementary school student and whose property was acquired for a national rental housing district, as if it were speculation. But as the election nears its end, the Democratic Party's desperate and reckless black propaganda, throwing accusations without basis, is pitiful."
