French collecting society Sacem has signed a deal with the Korea Music Copyright Association (Komca) to manage the latter’s members’ online music rights in Europe.
That means that the songs represented by Komca will be included in Sacem’s licensing deals with digital music services. It’s good timing, given the continued global popularity of K-Pop, from the biggest acts like BTS and Blackpink to emerging artists following in their footsteps.
