After reading your most recent response letter, we do not believe that the transactions costs related to the formation of Melody Share should be included in share-based compensation on the statements of operations. Please revise your filing to classify these costs within general and administrative expenses. Exhibit 5.1 2. We refer you to opinion paragraph (c). Please strike the following language from the opinion, "insofar as such statements purport to summarize Korean tax laws relating to the ADSs (as defined in the Registration Statement) and the Shares."

Please furnish a cover letter with your amendment that keys your responses to our comments and provides any requested supplemental information. Detailed cover letters greatly facilitate our review. Please understand that we may have additional comments after reviewing your amendment and responses to our comments. We will consider a written request for acceleration of the effective date of the registration statement as a confirmation of the fact that those requesting acceleration are aware of their respective responsibilities under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as they relate to the proposed public offering of the securities specified in the above registration statement. We will act on the request and, pursuant to delegated authority, grant acceleration of the effective date. We direct your attention to Rules 460 and 461 regarding requesting acceleration of a registration statement.
