First, regarding the recent Seosomun Overpass collapse and Suseo Station burial accident, Jung said, "I offer my condolences for the victims who lost their lives in these accidents and extend my deepest sympathies to the bereaved families. I also sincerely wish for the speedy recovery of the injured."

Jung continued, "The position of Seoul mayor should be about supporting the safe lives of more than 10,000 public officials and approximately 9.3 million Seoul citizens. However, the current Seoul mayor is only engaging in showmanship administration," and reiterated, "Please hold Mayor Oh Se-hoon accountable for 10 years of incompetence."

Oh Se-hoon, the candidate from the People Power Party, said, "Through prompt integrated planning, I have revitalized redevelopment and reconstruction projects and restored the ladder of upward mobility. Now, according to credible evaluation agencies, Seoul is on the verge of becoming the city with the third highest quality of life in the world, and I am determined to achieve this in an overwhelming fashion."

Oh also addressed the recent accidents, stating, "I will establish stricter safety standards and management systems to prevent such incidents from recurring," and added, "Based on safety, I will ensure Seoul becomes a special city with an even warmer and healthier quality of life."

Kim Jeong-cheol, the candidate from the Reform New Party, said, "If I wanted to take the easy path in politics, I could have done so at any time, but I believed in the Korean system, where hard work can bring success even if you are poor," adding, "I will clearly show that even in politics, you can succeed through effort, even without connections or money."

Kwon Young-guk, the candidate from the Justice Party, said, "Ten years ago, I was the head of the investigation team for the Guui Station youth death case, and yet, just this week, six workers lost their lives on the job in Seoul. Even after 10 years, fatal accidents continue. How can Oh stand here in good conscience?" He added, "Oh is unqualified to be mayor. Four terms are enough. It's time to step down."
