Korean Politician Uses Overwatch For Her Campaign

Korean Politician Uses Overwatch For Her Campaign

What about her ultimate!?

Sim Sang-jung is a politician currently running for president in South Korea. Unlike her competition, Sang-jung is appealing to the youth of her country with what either she or her campaign team assumed is the most popular game at the moment. Not only is Overwatch universally popular, but it's also very popular in the South Korean eSports scene. Sim Sang-jung released a campaign video in which she gets plays of the game by schooling her political opponents in heated debate. 

Full disclosure, I don't speak Korean, and I literally have no idea what she's saying in the video, but nevertheless, it's still pretty hilarious. I don't presume to know anything about Sang-jung or her political agenda (shocking I know), but she's definitely appealing to the gaming demographic of South Korea, which is pretty huge. A smart move on her part, and a pretty entertaining one at that. On the more serious end of things, was I the only one waiting for her to use her ultimate at the end of the video? What a waste.
