[AK Radio] Oh Se-hoon: "I Was Waiting for That Question" Why? Oh Se-hoon's Strengths and Weaknesses

'Prepared and Stable' Image as Greatest Strength
Lack of Solid Support Base Seen as Weakness

On the 12th, Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon attended the 'Local Autonomy Constitutional Amendment Debate to Overcome the 1987 System' held at the National Assembly Library Auditorium, emphasizing the necessity of a local autonomy constitutional amendment. The debate was attended by 48 lawmakers, including Kwon Young-se, Emergency Response Committee Chairman of the People Power Party, and Kwon Seong-dong, the party's floor leader. Although Mayor Oh denies it, the political circle views this as the de facto start of his presidential campaign. The impeachment trial verdict for President Yoon Seok-yeol is expected to be delivered by March at the latest.

Mayor Oh's greatest strength is being the first four-term mayor of Seoul, recognized as a 'prepared and stable politician.' His deep understanding of administration and practical experience are considered solid assets supporting his policy-driving capabilities. Additionally, his ability to encompass not only centrist forces but also some progressives is cited as a strength. He is regarded as a suitable candidate to restore the centrist-conservative identity of the People Power Party, which currently leans toward a hardline support base. His support for President Yoon Seok-yeol's impeachment is also evaluated positively in terms of his competitiveness in the main election.

On the other hand, a weakness pointed out is the lack of a solid support base, so-called 'fandom.' Regarding this, Mayor Oh stated, "I want to be a politician like essential drinking water for our body rather than soda," expressing his aspiration as a pragmatic politician. He intends to show politics through actions rather than words. Concerning the 'Myeong Tae-gyun suspicion,' he rebutted, saying, "I waited until that question came up," and "I urged the prosecution to investigate." Another weakness is that a clear future vision has not yet been firmly imprinted on the public. You can watch the attached video for more detailed information.
