[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon will begin his schedule as the 8th elected Mayor of Seoul with a visit to the National Seoul Memorial Cemetery in Dongjak-gu at 8 a.m. on the 1st.

Mayor Oh plans to lay flowers and incense at the Memorial Tower and sign the guestbook.

Meanwhile, the inauguration ceremony for the 39th Mayor of Seoul will be held online and broadcast live on the Seoul City YouTube channel. To fully focus on inspecting citizen safety and preparing for damage caused by heavy rain in the Seoul area, Mayor Oh decided to replace the inauguration ceremony originally scheduled to be held at DDP that morning with an online event.

After delivering his inaugural speech online at 10 a.m., Mayor Oh will visit the Changsin-dong Gosiwon (small lodging) community and then directly inspect flood control measures on site.

The Seoul City government explained, "Although the inauguration ceremony was originally planned under the theme of ‘Walking Together with the Vulnerable’ to provide a time for communication with various sectors, such communication will be continuously carried out later on site."
