At the council meeting held on the morning of the 28th, Mayor Oh said, "The difficulties faced by ordinary citizens have intensified due to COVID-19, and the public is suffering from real estate depression," adding, "Citizens' lives are tough and challenging due to rising housing prices and tax burdens."

He stated, "Extraordinary measures are necessary. Cooperation is crucial to simultaneously ensure stable housing for ordinary citizens and curb real estate speculation," and added, "At today's meeting, I request cooperation on measures to reduce property tax, operate residential treatment centers, and increase vaccination rates."

This council meeting was the first since Mayor Oh's inauguration, attended by the first and second deputy mayors, the head of the Economic Policy Office, the director of the Administration Bureau, the director of the Citizen Health Bureau, the director of the Finance Bureau, the housing planning officer, the women's policy officer, and the road management section chief.

On the 19th, Mayor Oh issued a disciplinary personnel move, sending Director Kim to the head of the Waterworks Headquarters as of the 29th, holding him responsible for conducting the funeral as the Seoul Metropolitan Mayor at the time of the death of the late former Mayor Park Won-soon.
