Oh Se-hoon, the candidate for Seoul Mayor from the People Power Party, expressed his commitment to enhancing support for vulnerable populations as he met with individuals with disabilities and residents of goshiwons on May 19.
On that morning, Oh worked as a daily manager at the Warm Storage, a community resource center he established during his previous term as mayor, where residents can select essential goods within a designated credit limit.
Wearing a manager's vest, Oh participated in all aspects of store operations, from organizing products to assisting residents who visited the facility.
After completing his managerial duties, Oh told reporters, "The Warm Storage not only provides essential items for survival but also serves as a space for goshiwon residents to maintain their dignity and strengthen their resolve for self-reliance. I feel a great sense of fulfillment seeing the residents' spirits lift and their health improve through this initiative."
He added, "I am determined to expand such policy approaches, aiming to develop initiatives that resonate with the hearts of the residents, particularly those who are vulnerable."
Earlier that day, Oh also held a policy meeting with disability advocacy groups at his campaign office in Gwancheol-dong. During the meeting, he listened to policy proposals from various organizations, which included suggestions for establishing a community-integrated care system, expanding job opportunities for people with disabilities, improving accessibility infrastructure, and ensuring the rights of disabled youth.
Oh promised, "I will carefully review the policy proposals presented today to create a Seoul where individuals with disabilities can truly feel the impact of meaningful change."
