Lyrics
[Intro]
Oh, in the East where the sun rises high,
Lies a land of beauty reaching the sky.
Come explore the stories untold,
In the Land of Morning Calm, behold.
[Verse 1]
From the peaks of Baekdusan, sacred and grand,
To the bustling streets of Seoul, so planned.
Where skyscrapers kiss the sky,
And Han River's waters flow by.
[Pre-Chorus]
Once divided by a demilitarized line,
Now thriving, hearts beating in time.
Technology and tradition as one,
In this nation where the future's begun.
[Chorus]
South Korea, shining bright,
In the day and in the night.
K-pop rhythms, vibrant art,
In our souls you'll find your heart.
[Verse 2]
Hangul letters, a linguistic grace,
From Gyeongbokgung to every place.
Kimchi's spice, bulgogi too,
Taste the flavors, history's stew.
[Chorus]
South Korea, shining bright,
In the day and in the night.
K-pop rhythms, vibrant art,
In our souls you'll find your heart.
[Bridge]
From the hanbok's colorful folds,
To taekwondo with its stories told.
Pohang's steel and Incheon’s port,
Daejeon’s science, Seoul’s transport.
[Final Chorus]
South Korea, shining bright,
In the day and in the night.
K-dramas to warm the cold,
In our hearts your stories hold.
[Outro]
Oh, in the East where the sun rises high,
Land of harmony, reaching the sky.
Feel the spirit, hear the calm,
In South Korea, forever strong.
