Oh Sehoon: "Yongsan Development Delays Are the Fault of Moon and Lee Administrations"

Rebuttal to Jung Won-oh's Claims

Oh Se-hoon, the People Power Party's Seoul mayoral candidate, criticized the accusations of responsibility for the delay in the Yongsan development on May 9, calling them "outrageous and a classic case of blaming the victim."

This was his direct rebuttal in response to reporters' questions about Democratic Party candidate Jung Won-oh attributing the delay in the Yongsan development to him.

Oh stated, "It is absurd that there is no mention at all of the ten years of stagnation under Moon Jae-in and Park Won-soon's administrations, but instead, they claim the ten years—my previous five years and my current five years—are the cause of the standstill."

He also pointed out, "The Yongsan International Business District development project was progressing smoothly, but the Lee Jae-myung administration unilaterally increased the previously agreed housing scale from 6,000 units to 10,000 units, which caused the plan to be delayed by about two years."

He added, "And then, candidate Jung pledged to accept this as it is and include 10,000 units, which is irresponsible."

He further criticized, "Candidate Jung is now playing the role of a reckless driver who suddenly cuts in from the next lane, disrupts all the traffic that was moving smoothly, and then, when an accident occurs, shamelessly blames the driver who was following the rules."

Hoh Junseok, spokesperson for the People Power Party's election committee, also joined in, saying, "Candidate Jung should first reflect on his irresponsibility for mentioning 10,000 and 20,000 housing units despite knowing that one school is needed for every 6,000 households."
