Rosé made the headlines again, and this time for making a huge step to withdraw from KOMCA and becoming the first Korean artist to do so in over two decades. The decision did not come lightly for the K-pop artist, as she had to consider a lot of factors before finally making the move. The idol recently shared her reasoning behind leaving the organisation, which highlights the problems that still prevail in the Korean entertainment industry.

Blackpink's Rosè reveals why she left the Korean copyright association In a bombshell move, K-pop artist Rosè from Blackpink had recently shared the news of leaving the generalised copyrights association of South Korea. according to Allkpop. The idol also became the first Korean artist to do so in approximately two decades, making this news even more important.

The singers, composers, producers and songwriters of South Korea still do not get their rightful royalties on the music that they create. Even according to records and reports shared by KOMCA, the original creators of music only get 10.5% of total streaming revenue. This is one of the lowest revenue gains amongst other popular nations, such as the U.S., which provides 12.3%; the United Kingdom, which provides 16% to the original creators; and Germany, which provides 15% of revenue to the creators of the music.

Rosé's move is strategic and extremely beneficialRosè's decision to leave behind KOMCA can be seen as a strategic move, as usually, a K-pop artist has to go through a lot of intermediaries, starting with the copyrights association that takes the first cut of the earnings. After specific amounts are taken by intermediaries, only a small percentile is left for the original creators of the music.

Rosè leaving KOMCA marks a revolutionary move for the idol, as now she is free to directly connect with any and all agencies and intermediaries on her terms. This can also prove to be beneficial for her in the fact that the total amount of what she earns from her music will definitely grow as well.
