South Korea’s Lee uses AI video to honour shared factory worker past with Brazil’s Lula

Lula arrived in Seoul on Sunday for a three-day trip – his first to South Korea in 21 years – with the two countries agreeing at a summit on Monday to elevate ties to a strategic partnership.The 11-second clip, posted to Lee’s social media account on Monday, begins with archival photos of a young Lee and Lula. The images are then animated by AI, their frames fading away as the two embrace, before cutting to present-day footage of the leaders hugging outside South Korea’s presidential residence.“Brother President Lula, I present this video to you,” Lee wrote in the post, which has been viewed over 4 million times.“Two young factory workers became presidents and met together. We share the experience of being wounded, yet we were not scarred,” he said, as reported by The Korea Times.
