Hwaseong City Celebrates 76th Liberation Day with 'Online Citizen Chorus'

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Jung Junseong] Hwaseong City will release a citizen online chorus video in commemoration of the 76th Liberation Day on August 15. The video can be viewed at 10 a.m. on the 15th on Hwaseong On TV's YouTube channel and Hwaseong City's Facebook page.

Instead of holding a commemorative ceremony to prevent the spread of COVID-19, the city chose a way to honor the legacy of independence fighters together with citizens.

The released video was produced by compiling footage from the online campaign '8.15 Hope Challenge' held in early this month, where citizens directly sang and recorded 'The Path to Independence, Hwaseong's Song'.

Approximately 50 citizens participated, and the voices of each citizen come together to create a unified resonance as if performing a chorus.

The city plans to give out small gifts through a drawing to citizens who watch the video and answer a quiz correctly.
