Oh Se-hoon on 100 Days in Office: Quality of Life is Our Top Goal, Judge Us by Real Results

Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon emphasized today (the 7th) that "all policy achievements will be judged by how citizens experience them in their daily lives," during a press conference held at Seoul City Hall to mark 100 days since taking office for his 9th popular term.

Mayor Oh stated, "Rather than just focusing on the achievements of the period since taking office, I want to share our goals for what kind of city Seoul should become moving forward."

"I am proud to say that over the past 100 days, we have steadily put into action the tasks promised to the citizens, ranging from housing and jobs to transportation, welfare, and safety," Oh said.

He added that moving forward, his administration will look beyond just how many housing units were supplied to check how much citizens' housing worries were eased, and look beyond simply expanding transportation networks to see how much more time and freedom of movement were returned to citizens.

He also added, "We will look not just at how much the welfare budget numbers have increased, but at how much we have broadened opportunities for citizens to get back on their feet; rather than how flashy the city has become, we will look at how healthily, safely, and less lonely our citizens live."

"We will not just talk about how much Seoul has grown," he stressed, adding, "We will be evaluated on whether that growth has transformed citizens' lives and led to greater happiness."

During today's press conference, Mayor Oh introduced policies that have been pursued so far, including urban space reorganization projects like the Hangang Renaissance, "Accompanying the Weak," and "Loneliness-Free Seoul."

Regarding the Seoul city administration for his 9th popular term, he stated, "We have made the quality of life of our citizens the most important goal, and I am convinced that the role of the city government is to make daily life better."

He then announced that the official slogan for the 9th popularly elected Seoul city administration has been set as "Seoul, a Special City for Quality of Life."

Mayor Oh said, "100 days is only the beginning," adding, "During the remaining four years given to me, I will not waste a single day so that citizens can feel the changes in their daily lives."
