Seoul Mayor Faces Risk of Losing Office After Political Funds Conviction The conviction of Seoul Mayor Oh Se hoon on charges related to a political funds case has sent shockwaves through South Korea's capital city.
The ruling, which comes just months after his re election in June, puts Oh at risk of losing his office and highlights the need for greater transparency and oversight in politics.
Oh was convicted of receiving polling services worth 21 million won from a longtime supporter, who covered the costs in violation of the Political Funds Act.
