[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jun-yi] The People Power Party is holding a contest for an election logo song ahead of the presidential election. The purpose is to increase interest and participation by using songs created directly by the people in the election campaign.

The People Power Party Election Countermeasures Committee's Public Relations Media Headquarters announced on the 20th through a press release that it will hold the "Logo Song Contest to Save the Republic of Korea." The application period is from today until the 3rd of next month, and anyone who is a citizen of the Republic of Korea can participate.

The headquarters explained, "Entries can be submitted in various categories such as remakes, cover songs with changed lyrics, and original compositions. Any genre is acceptable, from ballads to trot and children's songs, as long as the song carries the meaning of saving the broken economy and collapsed justice." They added, "We hope the people will create songs that they want to hear and can empathize with, and furthermore, election songs that will resonate from the campaign vehicles of Yoon Seok-yeol, the People Power Party candidate, with their own hands."

Earlier, Lee Jun-seok, the leader of the People Power Party and head of the Public Relations Media Headquarters, expressed on social media (SNS) on the 25th of last month his intention to decide on the election logo song through a contest. He said, "It is fine to remake or change the lyrics of a military song. Ultimately, the winning work will be selected reflecting the majority opinion of the people, and we will pay as much as we have paid to Yeouido professionals so far."
