thank you for singing this song. This means a lot to us, korean. I used to serve my military service at the Camp Red Cloud as Katusa. Again, I really appreciate for you and your ancestor's sacrifices

[Parco--vc]

I cried because of this Arirang means a lot to my family and is a big big part of korea

[padend]

I lost an uncle during the Korean War. I'm glad to see his sacrifice wasn't in vain and Korea has become a great country again and a beacon of democracy.

감사합니다. 젊은 청춘 군인들이 우리나라에서 목숨을 바쳐 주신 덕분에 현재의 대한민국이 존재하고있습니다.
항상 고마운 나라 미국을 사랑합니다.

정말 아름답습니다. 한국을 지키게 도움 주고 선진국이 되도록 도와준 미국의 우정이 감사하고 든든합니다.
이런 우의와 우정으로 같이 갑시다 ^^

A Korean, born in 1961, writes a letter of thanks to the members of the 5th Marine Regiment who fought the Chinese on the Jangjin Lake in 1950. Marines, thank you.

That's the USMC Band but it's the US Army Chorus that's doing the singing. Arirang is associated with the US Army because if was given to / adopted by the 7th Infantry Division as its march during its service in Korea.

[enjoi]

That choir is actually the US Army Chorus. I think the USMC band is the one in red sitting in front of them.

감사합니다. 당신들이 계셨기에 한국이 존재하고 또 발전된 국가가 되었습니다. 당신들의 피와 땀 사랑을 잊지 않겠습니다.

Nice! You nailed the pronunciation exactly too!

[yungtaewon]

I really enjoyed your "Arirang, " one of the folk songs that symbolizes Korea and Korean people. To all the KIAs, MIAs, and veterans, thank you for your service and sacrifice for the freedom of a country that you rarely heard of, far away from your home.

That was the US Army Band and Chorus singing the Arirang which is a famous Korean tune that the Korean Government gave to the US Seventh Infantry Division after the Korean War. I was in the 32nd Infantry Regiment of the 7th Division when I was in Korea, they sang that tune all the time at official ceremonies.
