Mayor Oh Se-hoon is recognized wherever he goes, and people flock to take pictures with him.


On the afternoon of the 6th, the same was true at a wedding hall in Yeouido. As Mayor Oh descended to the basement first floor wedding hall, four women in their 50s who were leaving after greeting him cheered, "Oh! Mayor Oh Se-hoon, nice to see you. Please take a picture with us."


Mayor Oh responded, "Sure," and took pictures with them.


Then, as soon as Mayor Oh greeted the hosts, many people gathered beside him and asked to take pictures, to which he agreed.


This continued for more than 20 minutes.


A senior citizen in their 70s also requested a photo, saying, "Mayor Oh, you look so cool."


Notably, several well-known first and re-elected members of the National Assembly also attended the wedding, but compared to them, the line of people wanting to take pictures with Mayor Oh attracted attention.


This is interpreted as Mayor Oh establishing himself as a potential presidential candidate.


The reason Mayor Oh is popular wherever he goes is that he is the first to serve as Seoul mayor four times, demonstrating a different level of city administration, and also because of his tall stature and handsome appearance.

An official met at the scene that day said, "If Mayor Oh visits wedding halls whenever he has time, wouldn't his popularity as a presidential candidate greatly increase?"



Mayor Oh is increasing contact with citizens by attending events such as the reenactment of King Jeongjo's royal procession held near Gwanghwamun in the morning and the 'Wellness Seoul 2024' Slow Turtle Marathon event held at Banpo Hangang Park.
