Immediately after being confirmed as the People Power Party's candidate for Seoul mayor on this day, Mayor Oh held a press conference at the party's central headquarters in Yeouido and said, "This local election is not just a regular election that comes every four years, but the final battleground for restoring the rule of law and maintaining the balance of democracy."

He continued, "You must have been deeply troubled because of the conservative politics that failed to fulfill its role," adding, "I, too, am fully aware of that responsibility. However, even a company that is on the verge of bankruptcy must keep at least one competent employee if it hopes to transform itself into an innovative business." He went on to say, "If I win thanks to your great choice, I will accept it as a stern mandate to rebuild the opposition party. I will dedicate myself to the path of comprehensive conservative reform, with unwavering determination."

Mayor Oh also directed criticism at the government and the ruling party. He said, "The real estate crisis we are witnessing now is exactly what the Democratic Party administration did five years ago," and added, "During the 10 years of Democratic Party municipal administration, which condemned redevelopment and reconstruction, housing supply in Seoul entered an ice age, and left-leaning civic groups used the Seoul Metropolitan Government as an ATM."

Regarding Jung Won-oh, the Democratic Party's candidate for Seoul mayor, Oh stated, "As Mr. Jung's philosophy and thoughts about Seoul—the heart and future of South Korea—are gradually being revealed, I trust the citizens of Seoul will make wise decisions." He added, "I believe Mr. Jung's administrative philosophy will ultimately shackle his own efforts."

Mayor Oh presented five major visions for "Seoul: A Special City of Warmer and Healthier Quality of Life," which include: ▲ Seoul that grows together ▲ Seoul where everyone can own a home ▲ Seoul without mobility gaps ▲ Healthy city Seoul ▲ Seoul Tour-nomics through strengthening the tourism industry.
