On the same day, Park stated on Facebook, "I have registered as a candidate for the Democratic Party's Seoul mayoral primary today."

He said, "After the presidential election, I carefully listened to the concerns of party members, supporters, and the public," adding, "I received various opinions, but the common thread was the need for a 'generation change' and 'era change' to create a 'younger Seoul city.'"

He continued, "That is why I made up my mind," and said, "Born in 1973, father of 5-year-old Sol, I, Park Jumin, pledge to make Seoul younger and newer."

Park said, "Soon, I will formally share my determination in detail with party members, supporters, and the ten million citizens of Seoul."
