Decisive Intervention by the KMCA in the NewJeans Case

Following tensions between HYBE Labels and the girl group NewJeans, the Korean Music Content Association (KMCA) recently took a stand. Founded in 2008 by South Korea's Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, the KMCA manages the fair distribution of music content in the country, protects the intellectual property rights of producers and distributors, and oversees the Circle Chart, South Korea's public music ranking.

Dans un communiqué publié le 13 décembre, la KMCA a dénoncé la pratique controversée de "manipulation" dans l'industrie musicale et a conseillé aux membres de NewJeans de retourner chez ADOR pour respecter les engagements de leur contrat exclusif. Cette prise de position fait écho à des incidents précédents de manipulation observés dans l'industrie, notamment l'affaire "FIFTY FIFTY" et les allégations récentes contre Min Hee Jin, ancienne PDG d'ADOR.

La KMCA a souligné les risques de laisser les producteurs utiliser leurs relations pour inciter les artistes à rompre leurs contrats sans tenir compte des accords avec les compagnies et les investisseurs. Face à ces agissements, la KMCA envisage d'exclure les artistes impliqués dans des cas de manipulation de son classement Circle Chart, ce qui affecterait leur présence dans les programmes de musique et cérémonies de prix majeures en Corée.

The KMCA also urged NewJeans to honor their contract and seek a resolution through dialogue, while considering their role as representative artists of the K-pop industry. The association is also calling for reforms to the laws governing exclusive contracts to better regulate these practices and ensure the sustainable development of the Korean music industry.
