Korean students attending Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts, have produced a music video to express their aspiration for peace on the Korean Peninsula.
Fifteen students worked on the video running about six minutes, entitled “The Story of North and South,” and recently posted it on YouTube.
Composed by Jung Yoo-jin, a music therapy major at the college, the clip begins with a scene of three Korean kids drawing a map of the Korean Peninsula and the South Korean flag on papers.
With guitar and violin tunes in the background, they write words such as peace and love on small pink papers cut out in the shape of a heart and attach them on the map.
Throughout the video, the students play piano, bass, cello, trumpet and janggu, an hourglass-shaped Korean drum.
The video occasionally shows the Korean map with a band-aid adhered on it to express their wish to heal scars from the Korean division between the North and South.
The music video has attracted more than 4,500 hits since it was uploaded on YouTube on April 8.
