![From left, Incheon Mayor Yoo Jeong-bok, Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon and Gyeonggi Governor Kim Dong-yeon pose before a meeting to discuss the proposed merger of Gimpo, Gyeonggi, into Seoul at Korea Press Center in Jung District, Seoul on Thursday. The annexation of Gimpo was proposed by the People Power Party (PPP), to which both the Incheon and Seoul mayors are members, while the Gyeonggi governor is a member of the Democratic Party. However, the Incheon mayor has criticized his party’s decision to bring Gimpo into Seoul. The PPP on Thursday submitted a bill to the National Assembly detailing the merging of Gimpo into Seoul.
