[Asia Economy Reporter Seoyoung Kwon] Park Young-sun, the Democratic Party of Korea's candidate for the Seoul mayoral by-election, has been continuously raising allegations of 'preferential compensation for land in Naegok-dong' against Oh Se-hoon, the People Power Party candidate.

Park appeared on TBS Radio's "Kim Eo-jun's News Factory" this morning (31st) and said, "During the TV debate, I asked Oh if he had visited the surveying site in Naegok-dong," adding, "At that moment, seeing Oh's facial expression, I was convinced that he had indeed been to the site."

On the same day, Park also raised suspicions that Oh's wife’s family received additional preferential treatment. He claimed, "Oh's wife’s family received additional compensation as single-family residential land on top of the usual land compensation," and "As far as I know, SH (Seoul Housing & Communities Corporation) has never given land in addition to compensation money."

Park continued, "Oh himself admitted to receiving land compensation and claims to have sold it at cost," asserting, "According to regulations, cooperative housing sites cannot be sold for more than the original compensation amount. However, there is a possibility of a double contract including a premium."

Park criticized, "Oh is trying to conduct only one debate instead of the scheduled two. This shows how autocratic Oh is," and added, "Oh's outdated administration cannot lead Seoul's future." He also emphasized, "If we lose the next 1 year and 10 months, Seoul will regress by 10 years."

Meanwhile, on the 30th, at the Seoul mayoral by-election candidates' invitation debate held at KBS in Yeouido, Seoul, Park repeatedly raised suspicions related to the Naegok-dong land against Oh. In response, Oh expressed displeasure, saying, "Every time I open my mouth, it's about Naegok-dong."
