journey to the nation from August 14 to 18. The initiative, according
to its' promoters, aims to overcome religious differences. The actor
Ahn Sung-ki, one of the organizers of the event, explained that "if
we are united in prayer for others [through the music], this could be
the most beautiful bouquet of flowers that we could present to the
Pope on his arrival".
The
Korea Herald reports that the video titled "Koinonia" is a
celebration of the Pope's visit to South Korea, and derives its name
from the Greek words for friendship and sharing in communion. "So
many people live just for themselves. If more people prayed for
others, the world would be a better place to live," adds the
author and composer Noh Young-sim, during the press conference
launching the music video that was held on July 7 at the Cathedral of
Myeongdong in Seoul, where the Pope will celebrate the final mass of
the trip.
