Forever Marshall Islands

"Forever Marshall Islands", also known by its incipit, "italic=no", is the national anthem of the Marshall Islands. The lyrics were written by former President Amata Kabua, and the music was composed by Korean composer Gil ok-yun by the request of President Kabua. The song was finished and recorded at Oasis Records in Seoul. Kabua and Gil became acquaintances after Jiyong, an economic adviser for President Amata Kabua, introduced Gil Ok Yun to Kabua.
The anthem was adopted in 1991. It replaced a previous national anthem, "Ij Io̧kwe Ļo̧k Aelōn̄ Eo Aō".
