On the 23rd, during the National Assembly's Transport Committee Seoul City audit, in response to People Power Party lawmaker Yoo Kyung-jun's question, "There are reports that the reconstruction projects in Apgujeong 3 District and Hanyang in Yeouido are facing setbacks. What is your opinion on this?" Mayor Oh replied accordingly.

Mayor Oh said, "We are expediting what can be expedited in Seoul through the Rapid Integrated Planning, and we need the association's active cooperation. However, in Apgujeong and Yeouido, the association's greed was apparent, so we took corrective measures."

Regarding concerns that the ambiguous procedures for Rapid Integrated Planning's donation (public contribution) could increase resident conflicts and delay the projects, Mayor Oh stated, "Naturally, the association would want facilities that can be used by the local association members, but from Seoul City's perspective, the concept of public contribution does not necessarily mean that." He added, "We will consider whether it is necessary to establish procedures to resolve conflicts."
