On his social networking service (SNS) account that day, Mayor Oh stated, "Today, as the People Power Party's candidate for Mayor of Seoul, I have taken my first step forward together with the citizens," adding, "This marks the first button toward raising the pillars of Seoul, which I have built through hard work over the past five years, even higher and overwhelmingly completing Seoul as a 'Special City of Quality of Life.'"

Mayor Oh explained, "To jump powerfully from anywhere, you need a solid stepping stone," and added, "For me, the past five years have been a time of striving to lay that stepping stone for Seoul." He continued, "Above all, I have devoted all my efforts to solving the challenge of housing stability."

The name of Mayor Oh's campaign camp is 'Jumping-Up.' He further explained, "If the past five years were spent restoring the stepping stone, now I promise to leap even higher together with the citizens and unleash Seoul's potential from atop that foundation." He also warned, "If we stop even for a moment, the dark past will once again threaten to cross Seoul's threshold."

Mayor Oh said, "You may remember the lost decade, when housing supply froze as if in an ice age and 389 redevelopment zones were lifted. We must never repeat the nightmare of certain groups siphoning off taxpayer money as if it were a pipeline," he stated. He continued, "We will stand with the citizens to the very end to prevent any attempt to turn Seoul back into an ideological testing ground."

Mayor Oh remarked, "From this very moment, I will run even closer to the field," adding, "I will listen to your voices with my heart in the alleyways and markets." He concluded, "This heavy first button I fasten today, I believe, is a solemn mandate from the citizens, and I will see it through to the end. I will walk forward looking only to the citizens."
