"Soft Action has played an important role in rising public awareness about domestic PC game development in Korea. President Nam Sangkyu was at first considered kind of a hero of the industry, and he did a lot of publicity work, wrote columns in magazines and even directed a game soundtrack arrange project for the 2nd anniversary of the magazine Game World1, tieing gamers and developers closer together. The first official soundtrack tape of a Korean game came also by Soft Action, under the title NF432. But the bugged release version of Fox Ranger 2 and much more the accusations made public by former Soft Action programmger Kim Hakkyu about internal issues like unpaid salaries and disproportionate amounts of overtime in 1994 seriously hurt the image of both the man and the company, from which it never quite recovered.
After some educational titles and games aimed at kids, Soft Action switched to mobile games in 2003 and put out a whole bunch of them for about three years. After that, no new products have been released, but it seems the company has been around at least until 2009.
From 1998, Soft Action was also responsible for the Korean PC conversion of the Langrisser series and some other Japanese games. Nam Sangkyu himself produced the PS2 remake of Assault Suits Valken3."
