The letter to the participating countries of the Korean War.wmv
The Korean War broke out on June 25th in 1950.
At that time, we could protect our country against North Korea due to our brave soldiers and the soldiers of twenty-one participating countries.
South Korea created a movie to express our gratitude to them.
Enjoy :)
