Park Young-sun, the Democratic Party of Korea's Seoul mayoral candidate, held a press conference at the Anguk Building, where her campaign headquarters was established, on the 6th, one day before the April 7 by-election voting, and said this.

On this day, Park, holding her final press conference as a Seoul mayoral candidate, appealed to Seoul citizens for last-minute support. She emphasized that the mayoral position, with a term of just over one year, is an important time to overcome the COVID-19 crisis in coordination with the government, and that a mayor who can lead the city administration stably is needed.

Park said, "It should not be a year in which the Seoul City Council and the government clash over policies that promote speculation, ultimately turning Seoul into a battleground of political strife," adding, "One year is not enough even if every minute and second is devoted; a mayor who can focus solely on Seoul city administration is needed."

She also targeted Oh Se-hoon, the People Power Party candidate, saying Seoul must not become a 'kingdom of lies.' She stated, "Oh lost the trust of citizens due to continuous changing stories and lies regarding the self-compensation suspicion in Naegok-dong, which led to more lies," and added, "Citizens have begun to turn away due to his lack of reflection or remorse over his failed Seoul administration, including the Yongsan tragedy, resignation over free school meals, and the exhibition administration that left behind 7 trillion won in debt."

She also mentioned that the direction of the wind changed following early voting conducted on the 2nd and 3rd.

Park said, "Since last weekend, the direction of the wind has clearly changed. I can feel the heart of each person heading to the early voting stations," and continued, "Please pour out your desire for a fair Seoul, your rejection of a lying candidate, and your wish to overcome COVID-19 quickly and restore daily life at the polling stations tomorrow."

Finally, Park appealed again, saying, "I understand the frustration of a future that cannot be seen, and the deprivation and anger toward speculation and corruption well," adding, "I will untangle all these pent-up feelings. Please add your earnestness to my earnestness tomorrow. Give Park Young-sun the chance to work."
