Singer Lee Hyori's husband and singer-songwriter Lee Sang-soon has spread positive influence in commemoration of the 115th anniversary of the Gyeongsul Treaty.
On the 28th, Professor Seo Kyung-duk of Sungshin Women's University announced the release of a campaign video titled 'Korea Lives Again,' created in collaboration with Lee Sang-soon.
This 4-minute and 30-second video was filmed at 'Simwoo Hall,' where independence activist Han Yong-un interacted with patriotic martyrs. The main content of the video reflects on the meaning of the Gyeongsul Treaty and includes a plan to release new music through a national song lyric competition.
'Korea Lives Again' is a prison song by seven female independence activists, including Yu Gwan-sun, who were imprisoned together in Room 8 of the women's section of Seodaemun Prison shortly after the March 1 Movement and continued the independence movement even from behind bars. In 2019, to mark the 100th anniversary of the March 1 Movement, music director Jung Jae-il, singer Park Jung-hyun, and former figure skater Kim Yuna added a new melody and released it, creating a huge buzz.
Professor Seo noted, 'This time, we plan to select meaningful lyrics through the national song lyric competition in collaboration with Mr. Lee Sang-soon, and officially release the music and commemorative video on next year's March 1st.'
Lee Sang-soon stated, 'The power of lyrics is tremendous, so I will do my best to ensure that good music can come out of this competition.'
The submission period for the song lyrics is until October 13, and the best work selected through fair judging will be awarded 8.15 million won as a songwriting fee.
