Check your travel insurance documents. Many policies will cover for this as long as you can prove you were delayed through circumstances beyond your control, even bad weather (barring war, civil unrest or terrorism). 600 dollars should be below the claim limit, and there's typically nil excess.

If you are traveling on two separately bought tickets, it's your responsibility to leave enough time between them to catch the second flight even if the first one is late. If you have a good travel insurance, you might get a compensation. In any case try contacting the airlines, I heard that Korean Airlines gave a generous compensation in a similar situation, but I wouldn't keep my hopes high. Long story short; try your chance, but they don't owe you anything.
