seadimo Sep 06 2009 5:34 am To Whom It May Concern

I am a South African recently travelled to Korea on Cathay Pacific where I saw this movie. Very moving, well acted movie. I am interested in the sound track that plays at the beginning of the movie and at the end of the movie (at the wedding). I would like to get a copy of the song. Please send me the details of the song and singer, and where can I get it?

Thanks for your assistance.

regards Seadimo.
