[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] Oh Se-hoon, the People Power Party candidate for Seoul mayor, cast his vote on the second day of early voting for the April 7 by-election at the Jayang 3-dong Community Center in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul.

On the 3rd, around 8 a.m., Oh, accompanied by his wife Song Hyun-ok, a professor at Sejong University, finished voting at the Jayang 3-dong Community Center in Gwangjin-gu. He mentioned that the main voting day, the 7th, is not a public holiday and said, "I hope many voters will come out to vote on Saturday."

As of 8 a.m. on the early voting day, the early voting rate for the Seoul mayoral election was recorded at 10.52%. Oh stated, "There is likely high interest in the election of Seoul, the capital, which is most important for the country's future," and added, "People are coming out to vote to send a warning message against the government's mistakes, such as the rise in real estate prices."

Regarding the Democratic Party lawmaker Jin Sung-jun's "serious decision" remark related to the suspicion over Oh's land in Naegok-dong, Oh avoided giving a direct answer. As testimonies related to the Naegok-dong land suspicion continued to emerge, Jin said, "It is proper to step down as promised," and "Depending on the situation, a serious decision cannot be ruled out." However, Oh repeatedly stated his position that the Democratic Party's allegations about the Naegok-dong land are "completely untrue."

On the second day of early voting, Oh plans to campaign in Gangnam, Seocho, Yongsan, and Guro districts. He said, "I plan to meet as many citizens as possible, listen to their opinions, and explain my pledges."
