SoundTeMP is a Korean team of video game music composers. Formed in 1992, they have been creating soundtracks for MMORPG computer games. By 2002, their work in Ragnarok Online (a highly acclaimed early MMORPG) made them famous. Their most recent work is in the MMORPG Tree of Savior.

Another international MMORPG using game music from SoundTeMP since 2003 is FlyFF, which comes from Korea as well.

  • Kwak Dong-Il (Sevin) (1993–2004)

Additional Information

Track number 191 on Ragnarok Online's OST titled "Remembering BlueBlue" was written as a eulogy to commemorate the work of the late Lee Seock-Jin (BlueBlue) who passed away in 2015. BlueBlue was revealed to be the primary composer of SoundTeMP.

Due to a difference of views on music, Sevin resigned from SoundTeMP in 2004 to establish Sound Fashion Advisor (S.F.A). S.F.A was invited to work on music for Granado Espada, another title by Gravity. Currently, Sevin is the Sound Director of Tree of Savior. He leads the entire sound team, which is composed of both current and previous members of S.F.A, SoundTeMP, ESTi, Questrosound, Joon Sung Kim and Symphonix.

Park Jin-Bae (ESTi) has a YouTube channel (KR) in which he posts independent music and music related to projects he has worked on in the past or is currently working on.
