As of the end of last year, Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon's assets amounted to approximately 5.9 billion KRW, making him the wealthiest incumbent metropolitan government head. However, his declared assets slightly decreased due to the sale of a leasehold right during the process of moving his residence to an official residence.


According to the 2024 regular asset change report for public officials released by the Government Ethics Committee on the 28th, Mayor Oh's total assets, including those owned by his family, were calculated at 5,975,990,000 KRW.

Mayor Oh jointly owned a multi-family house in Daechi-dong, Gangnam-gu (2,416,000,000 KRW) with his spouse. The leasehold right on an apartment in Jayang-dong, Gwangjin-gu, registered under his name (1,400,000,000 KRW), was sold.


Deposits increased by 1,041,860,000 KRW, from 3,072,840,000 KRW to 4,144,700,000 KRW, combining both his and his spouse's accounts. It appears that part of the proceeds from the apartment leasehold sale was transferred into deposits. Securities also rose from 375,690,000 KRW to 397,000,000 KRW.
