Oh Se-hoon, the People Power Party's candidate for Seoul Mayor, made a passionate appeal for support during his final campaign rally on June 2, stating, "My dream is to create a Seoul that evokes pride and admiration from people around the world."
During the rally held near Sinchon Station in the Seodaemun District, he emphasized, "I will lay the groundwork for Seoul to become one of the top three cities in the world within four years."
Taking the stage with clenched fists, Oh declared, "The significance of this election lies in making Seoul a city that ranks third globally in terms of pride. Seoul has risen to sixth place in global city competitiveness. I will repay this change with overwhelming results."
Oh's choice of Sinchon for his final rally is seen as an effort to encourage young voters, who have shown strong support for him and the People Power Party but have lower turnout rates. He remarked, "The encouragement and support from young people have given me the most energy during the campaign, which is why I chose Sinchon for my last rally. Every time I visited universities, I returned energized by your support. I have seen a bright future for South Korea."
He also highlighted his vision for a 'top three global city' to resonate with young voters. Oh noted that through the 'Seoul Run' program he introduced during his previous term as mayor, over 900 students have enrolled in universities this year, stating, "The ladder of social mobility has begun to be restored." He promised, "If you give me four more years, I will strengthen the ladder of social mobility, ensuring that young people can start from an equal starting line in Seoul."
Oh continued to criticize President Lee Jae-myung's administration and the qualifications of his opponent, Democratic Party candidate Jeong Won-o. He stated, "President Lee has lost humility and become arrogant. If this continues, the rule of law and democracy in South Korea will begin to crumble. I urge you to channel your overwhelming support to guide President Lee back on the right path." He added, "Seoul cannot become a practice course for novice drivers. We cannot entrust the city to an unqualified and unprepared candidate. Please protect Seoul."
After the rally, Oh announced plans to move to Gwanghwamun Square for a 'Garden of Gratitude' event, inviting supporters to join him, saying, "Please accompany me to Gwanghwamun Square. I want to conclude this campaign with you in the Garden of Gratitude."
According to election law, the use of loudspeakers is prohibited after 9 p.m., marking the end of Oh's official rally in Sinchon. However, he plans to continue campaigning until midnight in Jongno and Dongdaemun, appealing for support from citizens.
