Oh Sehoon and Yoo Seungmin Join Forces: "Will Support the Campaign" "More Than a Thousand Reinforcements"

Oh Se-hoon, the People Power Party (PPP) candidate for Seoul Mayor, and former lawmaker Yoo Seung-min met on May 14 and agreed to join forces ahead of the 9th nationwide local elections scheduled for June 3. Yoo stated, "Seoul is the most important," and added, "I will help out whenever I can." Oh commented, "It feels like I have gained more than a thousand reinforcements."

On this day, Oh and Yoo made these remarks at Oh's campaign office located in the Daewang Building in Jongno-gu, Seoul. Previously, Oh had commented on his meeting with Yoo, saying, "Starting today and for the time being, I will join hands and put in efforts with all political groups except the Democratic Party of Korea."

Before the meeting, Yoo stated, "This election is extremely difficult nationwide, but I believe it is crucial for candidate Oh to defend Seoul—not only for the citizens of Seoul, but also for the party and for the future of the conservative movement." He continued, "Especially since the Mayor of Seoul is a member of the Cabinet, and with the Democratic Party starting to reveal its arrogance, I believe someone like candidate Oh can play a sufficient role in providing checks and balances in the Cabinet for the sake of the country."

Yoo went on to say, "Our party has made many mistakes so far, but both candidate Oh and I are sincerely reflecting and repenting. I hope citizens will elect candidate Oh, whose experience and competence have been verified, once more to serve Seoul and the Republic of Korea." He added, "Although I don't have much power, once the official campaign begins, I will come and help candidate Oh whenever I can."

In response, Oh said, "Having a senior colleague to help me feels like more than a thousand reinforcements," and continued, "I will keep preparing so that as many people as possible can join me in this campaign."

After a closed-door meeting with Oh, Yoo met with reporters and said, "I will attend the official campaign kickoff, and I plan to come and support the campaign whenever I can." He added, "Just as I have done in the past, if I can be of even a little help in this election, I will lend my support wherever I am needed, regardless of my position."
