In a post on his Facebook, Mayor Hong stated, “The impeachment has now gone to the Constitutional Court, and the case is under investigation by the prosecution and the police, so let’s return to our daily lives.”
He also commented on Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon’s reversal from opposing to supporting the impeachment of President Yoon Suk-yeol, saying, “It’s regrettable, but he must have had his own reasons.”
Mayor Hong emphasized that “debating with Mayor Oh is a Debate, not a Quarrel,” and expressed regret about some cable broadcasters portraying it as a fight, stating they failed to distinguish between the two.
