Circle Chart issues a statement urging New Genes members to return to ADOR… ;; (Threatening to be excluded from graph counting…)
The Korea Music Contents Association, established by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism in 2008, is an organization that supervises the fair and optimized distribution of Korean music content, protects the intellectual property rights of producers and distributors, and operates Korean popular music. Chart, pie chart.
KMCA said, “The ‘manipulative’ act of a third-party producer persuading a promising new artist and his or her parents to terminate their contract with the original agency has already been witnessed in the ‘Fifty Fifty’ case.” However, former ADOR CEO Min Hee-jin Another suspicion of manipulation arose immediately after the 'FIFTY FIFTY' incident, which also shows how widespread cases of manipulation are in the popular music industry, raising serious concerns. The Min Hee-jin incident demonstrated that manipulation attempts can occur in both small and large companies, and KMCA decided that it could no longer stand by and watch these incidents unfold, as internal and external producers had close relationships with artists and their parents. If artists are allowed to pursue independence from companies and investors regardless of the terms of their exclusive contracts, and if these producers utilize the operating strategies of content and entertainment companies as follows, how will companies continue to discover artists amidst these risks? Can we produce an album and attract investors?
Regarding New Genes, KMCA said, “New Genes must strive to fulfill its responsibilities under the exclusive contract and consult with the agency with the goal of resolving the problem through dialogue. If the two sides cannot reach an agreement, members must humbly await the court's decision. However, it should also be noted that New Jeans is not the only artist in the popular music industry. Many senior artists, executives and employees of other entertainment agencies, colleagues, and junior artists are doing their best in their respective positions. Therefore, New Jeans must be aware of its status as a representative artist in the K-pop industry and be cautious when dealing with the media.”
KMCA said, “We urge the government to improve the existing inadequate laws on exclusive contracts between artists and entertainment companies,” and added, “We plan to consider expelling artists involved in the One Chart manipulation incident.” The ongoing issues include KMCA excluding all sales and distribution data for music released by those artists from the charts that determine national music programming chart scores. ‘Music Bank’, ‘Show! Korea's largest music award ceremonies such as 'Music Core', 'Inkigayo', 'Show! Champion', 'Trot Show', 'ENA K-Pop Chart Show' ('Circle Chart Music Awards', 'MAMA Awards', 'Golden Disc Awards') Award').
KMCA mentioned another incident of suspected tampering related to EXO-CBX in June of this year, saying, “The above measures will restore order in the popular music industry, establish sound business practices, and ultimately promote the development of the popular music industry.” “It is necessary for this,” he said. We aim for a sustainable music industry. Extreme selfishness will only lead to division and the ultimate destruction of the industry. He added, “We strongly urge those involved in the ongoing incident to take all investigations seriously and accept responsibility for the serious damage suffered by the industry.”
