[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Gyeonggi Province has produced a 'Hope Comment Song.' This song is characterized by using SNS contest comments as lyrics.


On the 22nd, Gyeonggi Province announced that it had produced the 'Hope Comment Song,' which contains the hopes of residents in the lyrics, and released it through its official YouTube channel (youtube.com/ggholics).


The province received over 3,800 entries through SNS platforms such as its official YouTube, blog, and Facebook by soliciting comments about personal wishes and hopes for Gyeonggi Province, and selected 42 of them to use as lyrics.


The lyrics include lines such as ▲ "Worked overtime for three weeks straight. Please let me leave work on time tomorrow," ▲ "A dream-like wish, I really want to own my own home," ▲ "I retired. I hope Gyeonggi Province will be a place where I can spend my second life meaningfully," and ▲ "I am a resident of Gomae-dong, Giheung-gu. Is there any way to get a discount at Yongin Folk Village?"


The Hope Comment Song was sung together by employees of the Public Relations Media Division, and the final narration featured residents of various age groups, including a middle-aged man looking forward to his second life after retirement and an expectant mother about to give birth.


The melody used the audio track "Did You Know That?" by the popular YouTuber 'Gwana,' who has 770,000 subscribers.



Park Yeon-kyung, head of the Public Relations Media Division of the province, said, "Many people participated in this project, which was carried out with the intention of creating a song that reflects the small daily lives and hopes of residents," adding, "Starting with the Hope Comment Song, we plan to create various content that can share and communicate small things with residents."
