Do you know the Korea?

About fifty years ago,

They lost everything.

The war was so cruel

For them who just got out of Japan's colonization

Anyone didn't say the word like

Future or tomorrow that includes some message of hope.

For them, tomorrow was another today that can't guarantee to survive

It was only little pray for survival that only thing is allowed for them.

There was no country that is poor than this country in the world.

It was only dream for them to see tomorrow without hunger

They sincerely hope this hunger is never passed to the future generations

Living alive is so hard for them.

Even if they gave up their lives and never stood,

Nobody is going to surprise

But they never gave up or ran away from the reality.

Even though there was no tomorrow for them,

They prayed for tomorrow for their children.

There were 120 countries which are registered with U.N. at the moment

Korean national income was just 76 dollars, compared with Thailand was 220 dollars Philippines was 170 dollars

Korea was the poorest country next India

1962 year, Korea barely got 140 million Mark from the West Germany, which is divided country just like Korean, even though the U.S didn't want us to get the money.

Korean government sent nurse and miner who was needed in the West Germany and their salary had been at pawn for the loan.

Before young Korean nurses who was sent to West Germany were recognized,

What they did first was to clean the dead body which was already hard

Miners had worked really hard in the 1000 meter feet below ground with bearing geothermal heat.

The West Germany invited Korean president because they were touched by what nurses and miners did.

And every Korean gathered in the hall in order to see their president.

Before the speech, the people who sang national anthem couldn't finish the song because they were choked with tears.

President stopped reading the speech what he prepared, he just kept crying out.

"Let's work hard! Let's work hard for our descendant not to be sold to another country!!"

"We're going to do everything!!"

Miners who were crying did obeisance to the president of West Germany

And they asked a favor.

"Please help our country!

Please help our president!"

Korean president shed endless tears in the car on his way to hotel

The president of West Germany Lübke gave his handkerchief and consoled

"We will help. The nations of West Germany will help."

So Korean modernization started from the Nurses and Miners

It was the spark of Economy back of Korea that Korean sent troops to the Vietnam War.

Highway was constructed by the soldier's fight money

Korea's artery started flowing

Korean had worked the dollars on Afro-Arab countries in hot construction fields in a sweat day and night

Young girls earned the tuition from wig factory, sweater factory, shoe factory, fiber factory and sustained herself by Ra-myeon

And we made democratization

1950, after 50 years from the moment

My homeland Korea

The world's third biggest scale of construction industry

The world's fifth biggest rate of using nuclear plant

The world's fifth biggest scale of the steel industry

The world's first biggest scale of shipbuilding industry

The trade volume in the 12th place

The fourth largest official reserve in the world

The highest Computer penetration rate in the world

The highest a high-speed communications network rate in the world

The world's 1th greatest building with information technology

The world's 1th highest digital opportunity index

Do you believe in Miracle?

If I may, I would like to say this is Miracle.

Some people asked about why Korean are so proud of that they're Korean and why they importantly think about patriotism.

I'm the one who should ask

How can't we be proud of our people?

We're proud of us not just because we overcame poverty

Our veins flow the noble heart that we don't want other people to go through a poignant history.

There's the heart in Korea and that's why there's today.

Now I promise that I'm going to turn good country over my children

I'm going to make this country like you can be proud of.

I love you

My homeland Korea
