Which is this beloved folk song here in Korea.
Alexander LeeHOST
Right.

Yeah.

It's beautiful, and it was incredible because there were 60,000 people.

It is pop, it is rap, and then there's like this 100-year-old Korean folk song sung in Korean in the middle of it.
Betsy TongGUEST
And the song is about these seven Korean men who ended up somewhere in the middle of the US, going from Korea to the US, and Arirang is the name of the folk song that is sung within Body to Body, and it is a song about revolution and the revolution in Korea.
Betsy TongGUEST
It was banned as a song in Korea, and when they came to the US, an American woman befriended them, and they recorded it.
Betsy TongGUEST
And so if you look at the video, there's a lot of references to crossing over the sea in a boat, the recording.
