Reunification has become central to the South Korean president’s time in office. It was dubbed the “jackpot” project by Professor Emeritus Shin Chang-mi, who toldDailyNK the project can only be successful if it focuses on political negotiations and winning the hearts and minds of the North Korean people. He also believes that integrating defectors in to South Korean society is an “an immense help” to the process.
Lee Dae-young, a professor at Chung-ang University has recently argued that as the reunification mission gathers speeds, a focus on arts and cultural projects is vital to narrow the inherent gaps between the two societies. Projects like the 55-member With-U choir help to do this, whilst also promoting the South’s reunification agenda on the global stage – a kind of soft diplomacy.
With-U became involved with the South’s campaign, launched last month, to raise awareness about the plight of defectors and to advocate for a united Korea. It’s fronted by Lee Seung-chul, a renowned K-pop singer. Together they have recorded an official campaign song called The Day, and Lee helped to fund the trip to Harvard in partnership with music corporations from the South.
