(LEAD) U.S. Embassy runs Korea-U.S. alliance ad on S. Korea's high-speed rail network

The U.S. Embassy in South Korea has launched a promotional video on the country's high-speed rail network to highlight the South Korea-U.S. alliance, coinciding with the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence. A 30-second video will run for one month on KTX trains, featuring the tagline "Two Souls, One Story" and emphasizing the shared history and complementary strengths of the two nations.

The video juxtaposes images of the Statue of Liberty with King Sejong of the Joseon Dynasty, a U.S. space launch with a South Korean ship, and concludes with the message "Let's open the next 250 years together." The campaign aims to strengthen public diplomacy and broaden engagement with the Korean public, with new Ambassador Michelle Steel visiting various locations in Seoul to promote the U.S.-ROK partnership.
