[Asia Economy Reporters Naju-seok and Oh Ju-yeon] On the 5th, Park Young-sun, the Democratic Party candidate, and Oh Se-hoon, the People Power Party candidate, who are running in the April 7 Seoul mayoral by-election, engaged in a ‘liar’ dispute. Both candidates raised their voices, calling each other ‘liars.’


During the Korea Broadcasting Journalists Club invited TV debate held at the Mokdong Arts Association Hall in Yangcheon-gu that day, when Park continued questioning Oh about Naegok-dong during the segment on livelihood-related issues, Oh pointed out, "How is this a livelihood-related issue?" In response, Park argued that "lying causes confusion in Seoul and leaves nothing to teach the growing children," insisting it was a matter related to livelihood issues.


Oh then criticized, "Isn’t Park herself lying? She decided not to run a candidate but ended up running one." When Park strongly opposed this, Oh retorted, "If she can be called a liar, why can’t I?"



In this final TV debate, both sides engaged in a fierce confrontation, criticizing each other without even waiting for the other to finish speaking.
