Mayor Oh Se-hoon broadened his stride the day after the not guilty verdict... Completing external schedules all day (comprehensive)

Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon was found not guilty in an appeals trial on charges of violating the Political Fund Act, and the next day, the 24th, he expanded his stride by attending several external events all day from the morning to the evening.

Mayor Oh attended the ‘National Suryukjae’ held at Jingwansa Temple in Eunpyeong-gu this morning.

The National Suryukjae is a traditional Buddhist ritual that has been passed down since the Joseon Dynasty, and is an event that prays for a world where all life is respected and coexists peacefully, regardless of ethnicity and national borders.

Mayor Oh said, "The theme of this year's National Water and Land Festival, 'The Whole World is One Family,' contains the deep teaching that all life is interconnected and that no one's suffering is unrelated to ours," and added, "Seoul will protect the dignity of each citizen and create a warm and reliable community that does not turn away neighbors in desperate need of help."

Mayor Oh attended the 4th anniversary memorial service for the Itaewon disaster this evening, honoring the victims and comforting the bereaved families.

Afterwards, he also attended a ceremony commemorating Sweden's stone donation held in the Garden of Gratitude at Gwanghwamun Square.

Mayor Oh said, “The Republic of Korea will never forget Sweden’s noble humanitarian spirit and solidarity, which did not turn a blind eye to the suffering of unfamiliar countries.”

On this day, Mayor Oh also visited the photographer's family sports competition held at the National Assembly on an undisclosed schedule.

He told reporters here, "The general election is approaching. I will give comfort to the people when the People Power Party appears united and integrated rather than divided."

Regarding the ruling party's call for the impeachment of Supreme Court Chief Justice Cho Hee-dae in connection with his acquittal the previous day, he said, "Remarks are being made frequently under the pretense of being an elected power, giving the illusion that the elected power is above the three powers," and added, "We urge the executive and legislative powers to refrain from wielding excessive power based on their position as the majority party."

Before the sentencing hearing the day before, he visited the Seoul Arena construction site in Chang-dong, Dobong-gu, following his usual schedule and looking closely at city affairs.

Meanwhile, the day before, Seoul city employees held a welcome event for Mayor Oh, who returned to City Hall after being found not guilty in a trial.

Mayor Oh is said to have responded by saying to his employees, 'I'm sorry for all the trouble you've put them through.'

Ahead of the 2021 Seoul mayoral by-election, Mayor Oh was indicted on charges of receiving opinion poll results from political broker Myung Tae-gyun and paying the costs on his behalf to businessman Kim Han-jeong, known as a sponsor. He was sentenced to a fine of 10 million won in the first trial, but was overturned not guilty in the appeals court the day before, dramatically escaping the risk of losing his mayoral position.
