Oh Se-hoon (Korean: 오세훈, Hanja: 吳世勳; born January 4, 1961)[2] is a South Korean politician who is currently the serving Mayor of Seoul since 8 April 2021. He also previously served as a member of the National Assembly of South Korea from 2000 to 2004, and the mayor of Seoul from 2006 to 2011. Oh is a lawyer by profession.
On July 1, 2006, Oh began his first term as the mayor of Seoul. Oh was reelected for his second term in 2010. In 2021, he was the winner of the Seoul mayoral by-election, beginning his third term on April 8, 2021.
Oh had spent time in London, United Kingdom as a fellow at the Faculty of Social Science & Public Policy at King's College London, focusing on major cities around the world seeking ways to create jobs and help promote economic growth.
In the 21st parliamentary election at Gwang-jin district, he lost to Ko Min-jung who is a political rookie.[3]
Oh was involved with the Seoul Foundation for Arts and Culture, participating in a celebration video for the organization alongside foundation chairman Park Bum-Shin and Seoul Arts Director Ahn Eun-Mi.[4][5]
When asked about the Seoul Queer Culture Festival during the 2021 Seoul mayoral race, Oh has stated that, "In a broader spectrum, the principle is that the rights of minorities, including sexual minorities, must be protected and there should be no discrimination." He further went on to say, "I think the debate was on the queer festival being held in the central area near City Hall and Gwanghwamun Plaza, and the city of Seoul has a special committee to make a decision, and there are rules to that as well."[7][8]
Although most Seoul residents choose to drink bottled mineral water, it has been reported that Oh Se-hoon not only vouches for, but drinks the city tap water.[11] Encouraging Seoul residents to drink tap water and reduce dependence on bottled water, as well as publicizing the cleanliness of Seoul tap-water has been a pet project for Oh.
Seoul City has recently put forward new regulations on tap-water and the focus has gone from not just safe water but water that tastes great.
