Letter to Record Company

The track I have chosen to make a music video for is 'Gashina' (가시나) by Sunmi. The song does already have a music video made for it, however, I have not seen it and do not plan to watch it so as to not reference iconography from it by accident.

My task here is to write a letter to the record company asking for permission to use the track, however, because the record label which Sunmi released the song on is Korean, I want to challenge myself by writing to them in their language- I also think that this is the best way to show them respect.

The record company is called 'MAKE US Entertainment' and they have a web page through which I could contact them.

I typed up the Korean version (below), intending to send it, but upon further research, I realised that companies prefer letters written in English as it looks more professional and academically respected. I wrote the following:

Korean version:

관계자 분께,

먼저 내 나른 한국어 실력을 사과할게. 이름은 Csenge 입니다, 영국의 미디어를 공부하는 헝가리 학생입니다. 저는 미디어 연구 과정의 일부인 뮤직 비디오에 순미 씨 '가시나'를 사용하는 곳에 대해 물어보고 있습니다.

저는 그곳에서 이익을 얻으려고하지 않고, 선로를 위해 신용을 가셔갈 작정이 아니다. 순수한 교육 목적을 위한 것입니다.

시간 내 주셔서 감사합니다,

Németi Csenge
