Singer-songwriter Yoon Jong Shin is to write a song about Dokdo. Yoon and Prof. Seo Kyong Deok, an activist publicizing Korea’s sovereignty to the islets, made the announcement on Twitter on February 26th.
Yoon Jong Shin was approached personally by Seo Kyong Deok, who will soon start regular classes about the islets at the Independence Hall of Korea in Cheonan, South Chungcheong Province, and the singer is set to promote them.
The professor tweeted, “Yoon gladly agreed to donate his talent, saying it’s an honor as a songwriter to write a song about Dokdo.”
Yoon Jong Shin will start work on the song in April, with a plan to make a music video featuring the islets, to which Japan maintains a dubious colonial claim.
