Singer Lee Sun-hee joined forces with broadcaster Lee Geum-hee to create a Korean song for Korean-learning teenagers around the world.

On the 8th, in celebration of the 100th anniversary of Hangul Day in 2026, the International Korean Education Foundation released the music video for the theme song "You and I Together," intended for Korean class students within local public education systems overseas.

This project was carried out through a collaboration between two artists, Lee Sun-hee and Lee Geum-hee, who have long led the way in Korean language education. The song is notable for naturally incorporating the unique rhythm of the Korean language and its diverse expressions into both lyrics and melody.

Lee Sun-hee personally handled composition and vocals, musically expressing the rhythmic qualities inherent in Hangul letters and native Korean words. Announcer Lee Geum-hee, who has practiced refined language use through broadcasting for decades, wrote the lyrics, translating the principles behind the creation of Hangul and its message of globalization into easy-to-understand verses.

The production team also contributed to enhance the visual and auditory quality of the music video. The video was directed by Seo In-ji, an artist known for working on music videos with world-renowned DJ Peggy Gou. It features characters called "Heunggeul-seu," which visualize Hangul letters, marching alongside animals from the Ten Longevity Symbols culture—such as turtles, cranes, deer, and tigers—while playing traditional instruments. Additionally, choreographer Aiki participated in creating the dance moves, designing movements that overseas students can easily follow.

Through cooperation with the Ministry of Education, this song is scheduled to be used as educational material for students in Korean classes at elementary and secondary schools worldwide, as well as in Hangul schools.

A representative from the International Korean Education Foundation stated, "This volunteer participation by Lee Sun-hee and Lee Geum-hee, who have established themselves in the music and broadcasting fields, is expected to increase the approachability of Korean education for overseas teenagers and serve as an opportunity to develop our culture into sustainable educational content."
