Help needed to identify a KOREAN COMPOSER...

I have recently purchased several soundtrack CDs from South Korean movies. Sometimes is really difficult to identify the titles or composers names, since they often come written with Korean letters...

Such is the case with a movie I've identified as NIM-EUN-MEON-GO-SAE (the international title seems to be SUNNY). It was directed by Lee Jun-ik in 2008 and, according to IMDB, it seems to be a War & Romance movie.

Please, does anybody know the name of the composer? Thanks in advance.

Kindest regards,
Angel

Thank you very much, Senchi55.

I didn't know that site and it's really great!

Regarding the music from SUNNY, it's not a great score. It's simply correct. The score is dramatic, with some good string parts, nice guitar and piano solos and a bunch of source themes: Drum, bass, saxophone, percussion, brass and piano (in a 60's to 70's dance mood), several songs by unknown (for me) bands like "Twist" and others written in Korean, a good version of the song "Susie Q" and at least three versions of the traditional song "Oh! Danny boy" (female vocal, solo guitar...). A mixture of different styles that makes a pleasant listening, but nothing really memorable.

I forgot to mention the cover art is really gorgeous.

Thanks again. Greetings,
Angel
