Kim Nam-gil Narrates in Korean
80th Anniversary of Yun Dong-ju's Passing
Yun Dong-ju's Image Recreated Through Generative AI
On the occasion of the March 1st Movement Day, Professor Seokyeongdeok from Sungshin Women's University and actor Kim Nam-gil joined forces to produce a multilingual video introducing the resistance poet Yun Dong-ju from the Japanese colonial period to both domestic and international audiences. On the 28th, Professor Seo announced on Facebook, "This video was created as part of KB Kookmin Bank's 'Daehan Has Lived' campaign." The video was produced in Korean and English, with Kim Nam-gil providing narration for the Korean version.
The video deeply explores Yun Dong-ju's life, humanity, and the various meanings embedded in his poetry. It details his anti-Japanese spirit, highlighting how he never wavered in his thoughts on national independence even while being arrested and tried by the Japanese authorities.
Professor Seo explained that, marking the 80th anniversary of Yun Dong-ju's death this year, he recreated Yun Dong-ju's image using generative artificial intelligence (AI). He added, "Re-examining independence activists who are gradually being forgotten by the public and widely sharing their lives through videos is one of the most important tasks for our generation today." Professor Seo also mentioned, "The video is being disseminated through YouTube and various social media platforms and has been shared with major Korean and international student communities worldwide," urging people to widely share the video with those around them.
