After launching a YouTube channel named ‘Park Seong-su TV,’ Park began active campaigning from May 2, the day of his preliminary candidate registration. Starting with a video titled ‘What Happens When a Prosecutor-Turned-District Mayor Candidate Announces Candidacy,’ he uploaded 14 short videos introducing his strengths, achievements, and pledges.

In particular, a YouTube video of Park lightly waving his hand and showing a hand gesture representing his candidate number ‘number 1’ at the Seokchon Lake campaign site has surpassed 5,000 likes despite being only about 10 seconds long.
