An official from Mayor Oh's camp stated on April 23, "He plans to register as a preliminary candidate earlier than initially expected, on the 27th," adding, "He is determined to be active in the field, directly engaging with citizens."

The campaign office is reportedly set to be established in a building located in the old downtown area of Jongno-gu, Seoul. According to Mayor Oh's camp, "The decision to choose a location in the old downtown, which symbolizes the urgency of redevelopment, represents our commitment to balanced urban development and revitalization of areas like Jongno. It also serves as a symbol of Mayor Oh's original intention to start from the perspective of ordinary citizens."

While the previous term of the Seoul Metropolitan Government under Mayor Oh focused on enhancing urban competitiveness, the new campaign will adopt the slogan "A Special City for a Healthier and Warmer Quality of Life," aiming to improve the overall quality of life for Seoul citizens. The campaign is also expected to highlight the active participation of the younger generation.

Meanwhile, Mayor Oh is preparing to launch a "Committee for the Investigation of Corruption Allegations against Jeong Wonoh" to scrutinize his main rival, Jeong Wonoh, the Democratic Party of Korea candidate. Kim Jaeseop, a People Power Party lawmaker, will serve as the committee chair.
