(동영상) Internet: The Best Tool For Peace

월드컵에서 눈물을 흘린 북한 정대세를 주제로 전세계 한인 유학생들이 힘을 합쳐 만든 동영상이 ‘세계 평화를 위한 인터넷 동영상 콘테스트’에서 우승했다. 2010년 노벨 평화상 후보로 선정된 ‘인터넷’이 노벨상을 수상할 경우 한인 유학생들이 이를 수상하게 된다.

Internet: The Best Tool For Peace

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This video is a documentary based on a peace project that was centered on the 2010 World Cup period this past summer. By use of the Internet, we were able to complete this project within three weeks, even though portions of the project came from various countries around the world, including America, South Korea, Qatar, and China. Our common goal for global peace is what connected us idealistically, but the Internet was the pathway from which our ideas could be connected physically. 

During this period, the political environment in the Korean peninsula was very volatile. Using this climate to our advantage, without exacerbating the situation, Miyoomo (an online-based community of Korean international students in the US) created a project that would emphasize the need for peace by metaphorically using the World Cup situation.

For the first time in 44 years, North Korea participated in the World Cup this summer, making headlines internationally. This kind of public acknowledgment of global cooperation, despite the political and social dissent, was very meaningful in the eyes of Miyoomo members. Through this metaphor, we wanted to send a message of global unity and peace, not just for North Korea, but for everyone. 

With the help of Berklee College of Music students, "Become One" was created as a message of peace to East Asia during the 2010 World Cup. The core idea behind the song and music video was to plead with North Korea to elicit a more peaceful environment and thereby encourage the rest of the world to do the same.

One of the most moving scenes during the World Cup was when cameras caught North Korean player Jung, Tea Se crying during the playing of the national anthem. We interpreted his tears to represent the struggle in obtaining peace for such a war-torn, poverty-stricken area. As a result, we decided to emphasize this and make the message more accessible by creating a music video about it. 

By utilizing the Internet, we gathered the ideas we wanted to emphasize in the song from members in many different countries. All of our collaboration and brainstorming could not have been possible without a means of efficiently communicating globally, which is exactly what the Internet has provided. Through social networking, we were able to successfully complete and distribute a message of peace and humanity to all corners of the world.
