Protest song splits Park, opposition korea news

The Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs said Monday it will stick to a program designating a choir to sing a controversial song commemorating the May 18 Democratic Uprising in 1980 in a government-led memorial service. It rejected the opposition parties’ demand that just the participants of the annual ceremony be allowed to sing the symbolic song, “Nimeul Wihan Haengjingok” (March for My Love), as they did before the choir program was introduced in 2009. http://ift.tt/1rFNlUK
