The campaign team of Jeong Won-oh, the Seoul mayoral candidate from the Democratic Party of Korea, responded on May 3 to real estate supply criticisms from Oh Se-hoon, the People Power Party candidate, saying, "The responsibility for housing supply lies entirely with the Seoul mayor and former President Yoon Suk Yeol, who ruined the country, so who is holding whom accountable for housing supply?"


Lee Jeongheon, the chief spokesperson of Jeong's campaign committee and an assemblyman, issued a statement on the same day, saying, "For the past five years, Oh himself has been the mayor of Seoul, and it is Oh who, during his term, never once criticized the Yoon Suk Yeol administration regarding housing supply. This is the reality," he stated.

Assemblyman Lee continued, "Recently, Oh mentioned the 'Lee Jaemyung-Jeong Won-oh duo' and again blundered by using the absurd phrase 'real estate hell.' Why is he now blaming the 'competent president' and the 'competent (work-savvy) mayoral candidate' for the problems that arose from his own failure to supply housing and manage policies for rent and lease?"


Additionally, Assemblyman Lee said, "Whenever Jeong presents a message that he will carry out redevelopment and reconstruction faster and more safely than Oh, Oh Se-hoon responds with frenzied negativity. Is this a 'trauma' over his lack of achievements, or is it 'self-deception and evasion' to cover up his own responsibility? It is embarrassing for the citizens of Seoul to watch."



Assemblyman Lee stated, "Candidate Jeong has announced the 'Step-by-Step Development' plan, pledging to carry out redevelopment, reconstruction, and residential environment improvement projects faster and more safely." He added, "While Oh Se-hoon chooses to fight with negativity, Jeong Won-oh will fight for the convenience of Seoul citizens."
