[Asia Economy Reporter Jo Gang-wook] KB Kookmin Bank announced on the 28th that it will release the audio track and commemorative video of the 2020 version of "Daehan-i Salatda" (Korea Has Lived), created to mark the 101st anniversary of the March 1st Movement, on March 1st.
"Daehan-i Salatda" is a reproduction of the song sung by seven female independence activists (Kim Hyang-hwa, Kwon Ae-ra, Shin Gwan-bin, Shim Myeong-cheol, Im Myeong-ae, Eo Yun-hee, Yu Gwan-sun) who were imprisoned together in Cell No. 8 of Yeoksa at Seodaemun Prison immediately after the March 1st Movement and carried out a "manse" (long live) movement even while incarcerated. The lyrics were passed down without melody by their descendants, and last year KB Kookmin Bank composed music for it, reviving the song after 100 years.
The original 2019 version of "Daehan-i Salatda" was composed by Jeong Jae-il, sung by Park Jeong-hyun, and narrated by Kim Yuna, expressing the aspirations of independence fighters who wished for "eternal peace" that would have resonated beyond the harsh reality of Cell No. 8 in Yeoksa 100 years ago.
The "2020 version" carries the meaning that this year, the 101st anniversary of the March 1st Movement, is the first year to begin a new 100 years of Korea, which will become even greater beyond the past 100 years of remarkable development through the sacrifices of independence heroes.
Representing the youth, the protagonists of the new 100 years, rapper Mad Clown and singer Luna performed the song, and music director Jeong Jae-il arranged the music for this version as well.
The audio track can be downloaded for free through the KB Kookmin Bank website and the Star Banking app, and the commemorative video in the form of a music video featuring Mad Clown, Luna, and graffiti artist "Ninbolt" can be viewed on KB Kookmin Bank's SNS channels (YouTube, Facebook), among others.
