In 2008 I helped with a film here in Korea. I sat through the crew screening the night before the media premiere and waited for my name to appear in the credits, only it never came.
My connection apologized and said my name would be in the next film. Well last night the next film came out; 의형제 (Brother, or a better translation is "two people who are so close they are like brothers"). For the same trailer and a promo poster pic here is the link and You Tube trailer link is here.
I got opening day tickets with a good friend,watched it without subtitles, and waited until the credits. Under the 'special thanks' category at the end, there was my full legal name in capital letters with 님 at the end (honorific ending).
The main actor is one of Korea's biggest actors. The cinematographer and editor both worked with that actor on "The Good The Bad The Weird" together; which was one of Korea's highest grossing domestic films (#13).
Despite no subtitles, we followed the movie well, loved the music, the cinematography was wonderful (the camera kept moving and I love that), and after seeing the credits I was floating.

Hi Richard,
Congratulations!!! It is so exciting to hear that you made it to the credits on a feature film. Seeing it with a friend on opening night makes it even sweeter.
This is exciting.
Love,
