Oh Se-hoon, the People Power Party candidate for Seoul Mayor, visited the site of the Seosomun overpass collapse on May 28, 2026, urging for safety measures. This marks his fourth visit since the incident occurred.
Having paused his official campaign for three days, Oh arrived at the demolition site in Migeun-dong, Seodaemun District, at 9 a.m. He met with Acting Mayor Kim Sung-bo and spent 25 minutes assessing the recovery efforts, while also calling for active government support from the Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.
He highlighted the inconvenience caused to citizens due to debris falling onto the railway, stating, "We need to reopen quickly, but please ensure the demolition site is managed safely."
Oh's visits began on May 26, the day of the accident, when he suspended his scheduled campaign events to visit the site twice. He returned again on May 27 without media presence.
Later that evening, Oh is expected to participate in a televised debate for Seoul mayoral candidates, marking his return to the public eye after three days.
