[Asia Economy Reporter Na Ye-eun] A video featuring Yoon Seok-yeol, the People Power Party's presidential candidate's wife Kim Geon-hee, delivering a public apology with the OST "I Believe" from the movie My Sassy Girl has become a hot topic. Composer Kim Hyung-seok stated, "I permit the use of the copyright."

Earlier on the 26th, Kim held a press conference at the People Power Party headquarters in Yeouido, Seoul, and announced a public apology, saying, "Even if you criticize me, Kim Geon-hee, who has been wrong, I earnestly ask you not to take away the feelings for my husband who has walked a very difficult and hard path," and "I apologize. I am sorry."

Subsequently, on social networking services (SNS), a video titled "Summary of Kim Geon-hee's Apology Today" was uploaded, which edited parts of Kim's remarks and added a song sung by Shin Seung-hoon.

The music was used as background for the part where Kim mentioned candidate Yoon. At that time, Kim explained, "When I first met my husband, I thought he was a scary person because he was a prosecutor. But he was always confident and generous, even if he wore the same clothes all the time, and he knew how to generously give to juniors. He always called to ask if I had eaten and to dress warmly because the weather was cold, worrying about my weak health."

This video quickly spread and surpassed one million views on communities in less than a day.

Hyun Geun-taek, spokesperson for the Democratic Party's election campaign committee, shared the video on his SNS, writing, "Genius."

Also, composer Kim Hyung-seok attracted attention by replying to a Twitter user who introduced the video to him, saying, "I permit the use of the copyright." The post has since been deleted.

Meanwhile, composer Kim Hyung-seok is considered a representative pro-government figure in the entertainment industry. In 2017, he publicly expressed his support by composing the tribute song "Mr. President" for President Moon Jae-in.
