"Gangnam 1970" is a noir film about the encounter between two top actors, Lee Min-ho and Kim Rae-won, and the subsequent struggle between men over land and money in Gangnam, Seoul, in the 1970s.

"Gangnam 1970" is the final installment of director Yoo Ha's "Street Series" trilogy, which has left a lasting impression on moviegoers' minds with "The Cruelty of Words (2004)" and "Mean Streets (2006). It has also been referred to as the "Gangnam Series" and the "Youth Series" for its portrait of Gangnam, which has become a symbol of wealth in Korea, and the youth who had nothing but wanted to have everything, and all three films were highly praised for the music that accompanied them.

In particular, the "Gangnam 1970" soundtrack album was composed by Cho Young-wook, one of the leading composers in the Korean film industry, who once again collaborated with director Yoo Ha after "Despicable Me".

Composer Cho Young-wook, who won the music award for "Gundo: The Age of Civil War" at the 35th Cheongryong Film Awards on December 17, 2014, made waves in the Korean film music world with his debut film "Connection," and has since won various film festival music trophies for films such as "Joint Security Area JSA," "Classic," "Oldboy," "Bat," "Moss," "War on Crime: Bad Guys at Their Best," "Berlin," "New World," and more.

The "Gangnam 1970" OST is the culmination of the efforts of music director Cho Young-wook and two composers, Hong Dae-sung and Cho Hye-won, who completed the songs that fit the scenes based on a complete understanding of the film. In particular, to further enhance the perfection of the music, the composers recorded in Prague, Czech Republic, and created the best concert pieces with the Czech National Symphony Orchestra.

The "Gangnam 1970" OST, which features a total of 31 soundtrack songs, includes retro performance numbers such as "Gangnam 1970," "Heungshinso," and "Spin the Ring," which recreate the atmosphere of Gangnam in Seoul in the 1970s.

"Rainbow," which plays during the scene where Lee Min-ho rides his motorcycle, will be one of the most unforgettable melodies for Lee Min-ho's fans around the world who will soon encounter the film.

Meanwhile, the ending song "Farewell" has a lyrical and magnificent orchestration, and is considered to be a continuation of the main theme song of the movie "Oldboy," and is expected to be used as background music for BGM and CF in various works in the future.

In addition, songs such as "Family," "Servant and Goodwill," "Small Hope," "Reunion," and "Old Photo," which move the listener's heart with their emotional melodies, will remind you of the main scenes of the movie, which unfolded a tender yet sad story.
