[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Na Kyung-won, former floor leader of the Liberty Korea Party, who declared her candidacy for the Seoul mayoral by-election, criticized former Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon on the 18th, saying, "I, who have been a four-term lawmaker, opposition floor leader, and stepped up as a mayoral candidate when the party was in difficulty, already prepared to take charge of Seoul's administration, am confident that I can perform that role better than someone who has been resting for 10 years."

On the same day, Na, on Facebook, said, "If you call me an intern mayor, what can I do?" adding, "However, I recommend former Mayor Oh watch the movie 'The Intern.' It shows how intern Robert De Niro saves a company in crisis; experience and ability do not disappear."

Na emphasized, "The Seoul mayor is not a position to work alone. It is a position to work with excellent Seoul city officials, the 25 district mayors, and their affiliated officials," and added, "I trust the professionalism and sincerity of all Seoul city officials."

Na stated, "Does Seoul City operate by a system?" and explained, "The mayor is a position that listens to public sentiment, suggests the right direction, inspects overall work, and leads the organization productively through rational personnel management and evaluation."
