name: Forte Escape
notes: Chul-Hee Lee (이철희) is a popular Korean composer for various Korean rhythm games
  including the recent DJMAX series by Pentavision. In his early days he started to
  develop talents in visual works, but his true aspiration was discovered in composing
  music. He first appeared on Amuseworld's EZ2DJ series bearing the nickname FE, which
  is the chemical symbol for iron and decided to stick with it since his name also
  meant iron in Korean. He extended his name from FE to Forte Escape after leaving
  Amuseworld and joined FamilyWorks, who eventually progressed into Pentavision and
  helped developed the DJMAX series.
