Dear All:

Anyone here might know who this is on the photo? It was taken in 
Frankfurt am Main, late spring or summer 1932. 

A few years ago I thought I identified the man as the composer of the 
Korean national anthem, An Ik-t'ae. That was after seeing this other 
small photo (An standing in a train window). However, I just consulted 
with a specialist of An Ik-t'ae who has seen many photos of him from 
the 1930s, because the timing is a problem. An was not in Europe before 
June 1936. That has now been confirmed.

We know the man is a Korean. But who?
