He described the release as a “beautiful note” in the grand symphony celebrating 80 years of the nation’s proud history.
Composer Chung revealed his inspiration, saying it hit him hard under the blazing April sun while watching soldiers sweat it out during A50 parade rehearsals. He got a front-row seat to their grind through classroom sessions, shooting drills, martial arts moves, and lockstep marching. The raw focus, grit, and quiet pride on those young policemen’ faces, without any embellishment, lit a fire in him to write the song./.
