Candidate Oh highlighted the resolution of long-standing local projects during his term as his core achievements. He resumed the Chang-dong private station project, which had been stalled for 12 years, and set the Ui-Banghak light rail transit project on track for the first time in 17 years. He added that the Banghak Station improvement project, which had been pending for 37 years, is also underway.

He emphasized that Samhwan Dobong Apartment was designated as the first project in Seoul to benefit from eased regulations in quasi-industrial zones, and that Sindobong Market was certified as a traditional market for the first time in its 50-year history. In addition to reconstruction and redevelopment projects, he evaluated that the establishment of the Jungnangcheon deck path, Hwangto path, and Choansan barrier-free forest trail during his term has significantly increased convenient and recreational spaces for residents.

On the same day, Candidate Oh also announced a "Five Vision Plan" for the administration of the district over the next four years. His plans include transforming the Chang-dong area into a K-food hotspot centered around the Seoul Arena, set to open in May next year, and creating a Dobong-style Hanok Village on the site of the relocated chemical unit.

In the field of education, he intends to finalize the city library construction plan and actively pursue the establishment of a youth center. To expand transportation infrastructure, he aims to advance the underground construction plan for the Dobong section of GTX-C to the groundbreaking stage.

Oh stated, "Over the past four years, I have been on the ground, driving real change and proving results rather than words. As this is a pivotal time for Dobong to leap toward a greater future, a proven district mayor who can build on the momentum of the four years of transformation under the eighth elected term is needed." He continued, "If I am chosen by the residents once more, I will find answers in the field and lead Dobong's uninterrupted development."
