[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] The Democratic Party of Korea in the Seoul Metropolitan Council criticized Mayor Oh Se-hoon's appointments of heads of subordinate organizations as "dividing and sharing."

On the 7th, the Democratic Party of Korea in the Seoul Metropolitan Council pointed out in a statement that the newly appointed heads of organizations such as the Seoul Design Foundation, Sejong Center for the Performing Arts, and Seoul 50 Plus Foundation are "unverified patronage appointments lacking professionalism and capability."

The Democratic Party emphasized, "If appointments are made through fair and transparent procedures with individuals possessing appropriate skills and qualifications, even those from the camp would not be a problem," adding, "Mayor Oh's appointments seem far from professionalism and fairness."

They continued, "Mayor Oh should stop the practice of dividing and sharing public institution leadership appointments and strive for proper city administration," urging, "Appoint talents with a rational and balanced perspective."
