[Asia Economy Reporter Jeon Jinyoung] Park Young-sun, the Democratic Party of Korea's candidate for Seoul mayor, visited the early voting station at Jongno District Office in Seoul around 8:30 PM on the 2nd and completed early voting. Candidate Park appeared at the polling place wearing a blue jacket, black suit pants, and blue sneakers. She had planned to accompany her spouse, lawyer Lee Won-jo, to the polling station, but Lee was unable to participate due to election campaign schedules and voted at the Cheongnyangni Community Center in Dongdaemun District, Seoul, near the campaign site.

After voting, Candidate Park told reporters, "I started my first schedule this morning with early voting, hoping people will vote for an honest future of Seoul." She added, "This election is crucial in deciding whether Seoul will leap forward or not, marking the coordinates for the next 100 years," and appealed, "I ask many people to participate in early voting." Regarding real estate policy, she emphasized, "If I become the mayor of Seoul, I will implement a real estate policy that is clearly different from the current one," and stressed, "Park Young-sun's Seoul will see many changes."

Originally, Candidate Park planned to vote in Guro District, her former constituency. When asked about the reason for voting in Jongno, she replied, "Jongno is the sacred place of Seoul's tradition and future." She criticized her opponent, Oh Se-hoon of the People Power Party, saying, "I believe a candidate who lies should not represent the citizens of Seoul." Park stated, "This is a 100% conflict of interest issue involving the then-incumbent mayor," and added, "I see the current People Power Party's hesitation to pass the conflict of interest prevention law as related to this."

Afterwards, Candidate Park enthusiastically campaigned during the early voting period by greeting people on the streets of Gwanghwamun, which was not on her schedule. She handed out business cards while greeting citizens waiting at the Sejong-daero intersection in Jongno District. She also approached campaign workers of Song Myung-sook, the Progressive Party candidate, to greet them. In response, Song's campaign workers shouted at Candidate Park, "The Moon Jae-in government should solve the irregular workers' issue."

She then greeted citizens in front of Exit 6 of Gwanghwamun Station on Line 5. Some citizens who received her business card first cheered, saying, "Please win for sure." Among them, a few showed their thumbs up symbolizing candidate number 1 and took photos together with Candidate Park. On the other hand, some citizens passed by Candidate Park expressionlessly and refused to take her business card.
