The Korean Music Copyright Association announced on May 15 that it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Baekseok Arts University to foster professional music talent and advance copyright culture.

The signing ceremony, held on May 14 at Baekseok Arts University in Seocho-gu, Seoul, was attended by Minsook Lee, Vice Chair of the Korean Music Copyright Association, Kyungseon Lim, Director of the Industry-Academic Cooperation Foundation at Baekseok Arts University, and officials from both organizations.

Under the agreement, the two organizations will collaborate on the following: ▲ technological and informational exchanges for the development of music copyright, ▲ offering discounted membership fees for students who join the association, and ▲ sharing and developing programs to enhance their status.

In particular, the discounted membership fee for students is designed to help aspiring creators reduce their financial burden and enter the copyright protection system at an early stage.

Going forward, the two organizations plan to continue their exchanges through various programs, such as songwriting camps and contests, and to pursue collaborative projects including copyright education initiatives.

Minsook Lee, Vice Chair of the Korean Music Copyright Association, stated, "As the global stature of K-pop rises, systematic support for the next generation of creators becomes increasingly important. I hope this agreement will serve as a stepping stone for students to grow into future association members and world-class creators."

Kyungseon Lim, Director of the Industry-Academic Cooperation Foundation at Baekseok Arts University, said, "We have focused on nurturing musicians with practical creative capabilities through hands-on, field-based education. We will work to develop a variety of collaborative programs with the association so that the expertise of both institutions can create synergy."
