[Asia Economy Reporter Jeong Dong-hoon] The police investigating the complaint case against Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon have summoned Mr. Kim, who cultivated the land of Mayor Oh's in-laws in Naegok-dong, as a witness for questioning.

The Anti-Corruption and Public Crime Investigation Unit of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency announced on the 1st that they have summoned Mr. Kim as a witness for questioning. Mr. Kim claims to have witnessed Mayor Oh surveying the land in Naegok-dong in 2005.

During the police investigation, Mr. Kim expressed his intention to seek punishment for defamation, stating that Mayor Oh slandered the cultivators of the Naegok-dong land as "illegal cultivators and liars," and he reportedly gave detailed testimony about witnessing Mayor Oh during the land survey in 2005.

Previously, the People's Livelihood Economy Research Institute and others filed a complaint against Mayor Oh and related parties, raising suspicions including ▲ lies related to the Naegok-dong land, participation in far-right rallies, and the Pi City corruption ▲ false accusations against media outlets reporting on witnesses in Naegok-dong ▲ unauthorized disclosure of personal information from an ecological soup restaurant near Naegok-dong.

The police have summoned Ahn Jin-geol, director of the People's Livelihood Economy Research Institute, twice for complainant investigations related to the allegations against Mayor Oh. In an interview with a media outlet during his candidacy for Seoul mayor in March, Mayor Oh dismissed speculation about speculation, stating, "The reason for the survey at that time was the necessity to remove those who were illegally cultivating my in-laws' land."
