Career

In 1989, Nam stepped into the entertainment industry and started working on drama music after she happened to see an advertisement at the EBS education broadcasting station looking for someone to add music effects, so she applied and was accepted.

After joining EBS as a broadcast music writer in 1989, Nam worked on comedies and entertainment shows such as MBC's Sunday Night for more than 10 years, but then moved on to the children's program Kiss Kiss because she wanted to compose music. "There was a whole world in 'Kiss Kiss'. Animation, documentaries, dramatization… It was a great study." Her work includes animation, documentaries, sitcoms, and dramas. In particular, she attracted attention for working on polar opposite genres, such as the popular children's works Kobobobo, Pororo, and Special Case Task Force TEN.

Most children's programs copied Disney music and made it appropriate, nowever Nam's music was original. It was from this time that her name became known to broadcasters. She became a drama music director starting with the 2004 MBC series Red Bean Bread.

In 2005, Nam won the Music/Effects Award for her work in MBC at the 17th Korean Broadcasting Producer Awards.

Starting from that, numerous hits were born from her hands, such as The Good Wife and Don't Dare to Dream, as well as Nine, I Need Romance (2 and 3), and Discovery of Love.
