Lee Hyun Ju and Kang Hak Sung, who worked for the musical "Shine" and movie "Happy Murderer", directed the music of Pacemaker's MV.

The theme song's been titled "Never Ever Give Up" and was composed by Kang Hak Sung. The lyrics were written by Kang Hak Sung and Kim Min Kyung.
Its bouncy rock style melody and the lyrics show Man Ho's position as a Pacemaker and underlines the feelings of this touching movie.

Man Ho is faster than anyone else up to 30km in the Marathon race, but he is the pacemaker who can never finish the race, and has to run for other runner's victory. This music video shows his setbacks and the trials he has to face being a pacemaker.

Usually, Man Ho looks like a dull middle aged man. He is ridiculed by his juniors. However, once the race begins, he runs in front of the favorite to be the wind shield, and prevents the opponents from obstructing the favorite runner. He plays his role as a professional pacemaker perfectly.

Man Ho, once a promising runner, became the marathon runner who is not allowed to complete the race. When he is to take part in the 2012 London Olympics, he faces the full marathon distance by himself, for the first time in his life.
The released music video shows such hero "pacemaker" behind the gold medal. And the music boosts half-resigned dream and gives the audience a heartfelt moment.

Singer is Korean beloved vocalist MAYA, who is known by her songs "Azalea" , "Shout Me" . She made this song sound more energetic by singing with her powerful husky voice.
The phrase "never give up" is repeated during the refrain of her song. This will be encouraging Man Ho to take the first step toward the 42.195Km race he has always dreamed of.
Expectations for Pacemaker have become higher after the release of its MV. It will be released on 18 January 2012.
