Der Vertreter der Demokratischen Partei Koreas, Kim Young-bae, erklärte am 8., dass in Bezug auf die Behauptung des Bürgermeisters von Seoul, Oh Se-hoon, Präsident Lee Jae Myung für den Stimmzettelmangel verantwortlich zu machen, und die Forderung des Vorsitzenden der People Power Party, Jang Dong-hyeok, nach einer Wiederwahl „die einfachste Lösung darin besteht, dass Bürgermeister Oh Se-hoon selbst zurücktritt, was eine Nachwahl auslösen würde.“
Der Abgeordnete Kim schrieb an diesem Tag auf seiner Facebook-Seite: „Wenn Bürgermeister Oh glaubt, dass die politische Sphäre und nicht die Wahlkommission die uneingeschränkte Verantwortung für den Mangel an Stimmzetteln tragen sollte, sollte er eine andere Vorgehensweise ergreifen: den Vorschlag von Führer Jang für eine Wiederwahl des Bürgermeisters in Seoul annehmen“, und führte dies so aus.

This is literally all i can say about that statement
Actually the protesters should call for all electees to voluntarily resign for the greater good if they are serious. If they don’t feel like to, then it proves either they don’t understand how out of reach their demand is, or their motive is not as sincere as they claim or believe.
Again I get that people are rightfully upset, I support a thorough investigation and a reform, but they went too far.
This is like blaming your doctor for your trash at home not being picked up. So stupid.
So.. right as I posted this, Lee seemed to have called for a convening of four government branch officals (including the constitutional court) to address the issue. [[속보] 이 대통령 “투표지 부족, 문제 제기한 청년들에 감사”](https://www.hani.co.kr/arti/politics/politics_general/1262396.html)
„“이게 독립기관의 문제기에 저 혼자 또는 국회가 따로 하기보다는 정부 주요 요인들이 모여 헌법상 시스템에 문제가 생긴 것 같다. 어떻게 접근하는 게 맞는지 의견을 들어보려 한다”라며 “행정부, 입법부, 사법부, 헌법재판소 책임자들이 모여 오후에 얘기를 해보자고 제안해놓은 상태”라고 했다.“
„President Lee is scheduled to hold a meeting with the four key officials (the Speaker of the National Assembly, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court, and the Prime Minister) at the Blue House this afternoon.“
He’s been confirmed, he has the position. If he really believes there should be an election then he can resign and the election will be held again.
It should be noted that the DP has not yet decided on a party-level position regarding the re-election. There have been members of parliaments from within the DP who have called for it too, such as 최민희 and 박선원.
Resigning and triggering a by-election would *resemble* a re-election but it would entail (1) the confirmation of last week’s election as having been legitimate and concluded, and (2) the ineligibility of mayor Oh to run in that election. It’s the difference between a „re-vote“ and „another vote“. Obviously the whole discussion right now is a new frontier for the country legally.
