Life Summary
Oh Se-hoon is the Mayor of Seoul.

With the early presidential election in 2025 approaching, he is running as the People Power Party's presidential candidate to reclaim power.

He was born on January 4, 1961, in Seongdong-gu, Seoul.

After graduating from Daeil High School in Seoul, he entered the College of Law and Politics at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies and later transferred to Korea University's College of Law.

He passed the 26th bar exam and worked as an environmental lawyer before gaining public recognition as a TV program host.

At the suggestion of Lee Hoi-chang, then leader of the Grand National Party, he joined the party and ran in the Gangnam-B district of Seoul, winning a seat in the National Assembly in 2000.

He did not run in the 17th general election and retired from politics, but he later ran in the 2006 Seoul mayoral election and won.

Although he was re-elected as mayor of Seoul, he staked his position on a referendum regarding free school meals in the city. When the referendum was invalidated, he resigned midway through his term after just one year.

He was re-elected as mayor in the 2021 by-election, returning to the position after ten years.

Throughout his political career, he has demonstrated a bold and competitive nature, making decisive choices. However, these decisions have sometimes harmed his party and the broader conservative camp, leading to criticism that he is reckless.
