Singer-songwriter Jung Jae-hyung has released a new album, " Promenade ", under the Sony Classical label, and some may be surprised to realize that this is actually the soundtrack for the currently showing film "Why Did You Come to My House - Movie".
The former pop star has written scores for several movies including "Addicted" (2002) and "Changing Partners" (2007), but Promenade involved a different creative process. The tracks may have been inspired by the quirky love story starring Kang Hye-jeong, but the movie's postponed release gave Jung a good year to work on the music as if it were a solo project.
"Normally with films I have to be efficient because I'm given a limited amount of time, and I sometimes have to even rewrite songs if the movie's ending changes", the 37-year-old told The Korea Times in a recent interview in Seoul. "It functions as a film soundtrack but I wanted it to have a life on its own".

When it comes to replicas, modern Koreans may be familiar with fake Louis Vuitton handbags; the immaculate craftsmanship baffles even experts. But not many people realize that "Mongyu Dowondo" (Paradise in a Dream, 1447), displayed at the National Museum of Korea, is a mock-up. The original landmark painting of the Joseon Kingdom (1392-1910) remains in Japan.
For "Insadong Scandal", first-time director Park Hee-gon may have been inspired by that tantalizing fact, which inevitably points to sensitive Korea-Japan relations, but he opts for something purely entertainment-driven rather than stoop to sappy "nationalism marketing" to tell the story of lost art and misdirected ambitions. Like George Clooney and others in the "Ocean's" franchise, popular actor Kim Rae-won ("Sunflower") and a host of colorful characters bring a stylish and speedy crime story set against the exotic art hub of Seoul, Insa-dong.
