At 8:30 a.m. on June 1, at Exit 6 of Gwanghwamun Station in Jongno, Seoul, Oh greeted commuters and stated, "Today, I will cover half of Seoul, and tomorrow the other half, meeting as many citizens as possible."

On this day, starting at Gwanghwamun, Oh plans to visit northern districts such as Seongbuk, Gangbuk, Dobong, and Nowon, where he will outline his commitment to ushering in a 'new golden era for Gangbuk.' He will then travel to northeastern districts including Jungnang, Dongdaemun, Seongdong, and Gwangjin to present concrete measures for revitalizing local commercial areas, pledge high-density development around subway stations, and promise to create more jobs for young people. In the southeastern areas of Gangdong, Gangnam, and Songpa, he will discuss the real estate crisis and pledge to keep the Lee Jaemyung administration in check. In total, Oh is scheduled to visit 12 districts on this day, with the remaining 13 districts set for June 2. A campaign official stated, "Oh plans to save every possible moment, including mealtimes and sleep, over the next 48 hours to meet as many people as possible and convey his sincerity."

Oh is actively focusing on real estate issues until the end of the campaign. Speaking to reporters before a rally at Exit 2 of Wolgok Station in Seongbuk, Seoul, he said, "I have analyzed the causes of this administration's real estate disaster. The problems stem from misguided policies such as excessively enforcing owner-occupation, restricting loans, imposing heavier taxes, which led to a decrease in rental supply, and a relentless rise in rental prices." Oh added, "If I am elected this time, the fact that Oh Se-hoon's Seoul Metropolitan Government protected citizens suffering from the real estate disaster will serve as a silent message of pressure to the president. I will do my utmost, with a sense of responsibility, to correct the misguided real estate policies and set them on the right path."

Meanwhile, Oh criticized Jeong Won-oh, the Democratic Party's candidate for Seoul mayor, calling him 'President Lee Jaemyung's puppet.'
