Rose, one of the members of BLACKPINK, has officially resigned from the Korea Music Copyright Association (KMCA). This decision was revealed through an exclusive media report on February 20 KST. The move is quite surprising, considering that KMCA is the main organization managing music copyrights in South Korea.
According to reports, Rose BLACKPINK submitted a request to terminate her membership since October 31 KST last year. After waiting for three months, her membership was finally officially terminated. This decision has sparked various speculations among fans and the music industry regarding the reasons behind her move.
Now, the copyrights of Rose's songs will be managed by her music label in the United States, Atlantic Records. Thus, the management of her copyrights will fall under organizations like ASCAP (American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers) and BMI (Broadcast Music Inc), similar to what many other international musicians do. Let's check out a more detailed review.
