It seems Overwatch is everywhere these days. It’s begun to bleed into South Korean Politics as Sim Sang-Jung uses Overwatch overlays and sound effects for her latest campaign ad.

Sim Sang-Jung is currently blazing the South Korean Campaign trail due to the impeachment of its current president Park Geun-Hye. Recently, she has released an Overwatch themed campaign video with sound effects and overlays, giving her the play of the game. Though the text and audio was in Korean, you can see there are heated debates taking place. Jung can be seen causing her opponents to remain speechless to her words.

Her economic positions include reforming Korean Conglomerates called Chaebols, as well as giving a one-time grant of $8700 to every person who turns 20 to reduce increasing wealth inequality. In an Expose about the presidential candidate, they touch on Jung living in a rural town near the border of North Korea. She was the youngest of four children. There currently has not been any response from Blizzard in regards to the commercial.

South Korea’s former President Park Geun-Hye is undergoing a criminal scandal involving her personal friend Choi Soon-Sil meddling in state affairs. Park is accused of sharing classified documents with Choi Soon-Sil. According to The Sun, Park has dismissed the mishandling of classified information as confusion and apologizing for the lack of discretion and carelessness. There have been several large protests going on in South Korea in response to the scandal, ultimately leading to her impeachment.
