[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Juhee] A video featuring dogs with singer Shin Seung-hoon's song 'I Believe' as background music has been uploaded to Lee Jae-myung, the Democratic Party presidential candidate's official YouTube channel, drawing attention.

On the 30th, a video titled "Dog (犬) Cuteness" was posted on Lee's official YouTube channel. This one-minute video shows Lee holding a puppy, Lee being interviewed, and a dog watching from a distance.

The video also includes subtitles written from the dog's perspective, such as "Even when I try to look away, I kept being captivated by him," "The person who gave me a warm embrace... the person who crept into my heart like a dream...", and "The person whose hand that let me go was also warm."

This appears to be a parody of a satirical video that added the song 'I Believe' to the national apology video of Kim Geon-hee, wife of Yoon Seok-youl, the People Power Party presidential candidate. The video became a hot topic after being posted on an online community on the 26th, right after Kim's national apology.

The video features Kim saying, "When I first met my husband, I thought he was scary because he was a prosecutor. But he was confident even wearing the same clothes, cheerful, and generous to juniors. He always called to check if I ate because I was weak, and to dress warmly in cold weather," with 'I Believe' playing in the background.

'I Believe' is the OST of the movie My Sassy Girl, famous for being used in a scene where the male lead expresses his deep feelings about the female lead he likes.

Netizens who watched Lee's YouTube video responded with comments such as "It's a genius meme," "The sense is amazing," and "Same song, different feeling."
