Recently I've discovered a damaged 78rpm record from early 1950s (circa 1952), which was made by Military Public Information Services of Korea(Korean; 대한민국 국방부정훈국), during the Korean War.
It contains a well-known propaganda song called "Song of The Korean War" (Literally translated as "Song of June 25th(The date Korean War was started)", Korean; "6.25의 노래"), sung by Korean Tenor Sang-Choon Lee(Korean; 이상춘) and Soprano Cheon-Aae Kim(Korean; 김천애).
The Song is no more than a simple, intolerant propaganda - treating North Koreans as "Pitiless Enemies" (But what do you expect during the War?). Anyway, I made a music video, using Archive footages of Korean War.
The record was played on my HMV 102 portable. Although the record is damaged - two severe cracks on the surface - I played this on acoustic machine since the playback has less surface noise.
Let Us Hope this tragedy will not be repeated again, and Peace come to Korea and Koreans.

@ muunzanggu : Who says that the American way of freedom is the right way. In the USA there are enough problems. The American Imperialism is the worst on the earth. I´m not communistic but the American way is not right way in my opinion

And as we gaze with horror on those rows of corpses we ask "Why? and (with Bob Dylan) will mankind ever learn?"
