Struggle for Choreography Copyright in K-Pop: Government and Dance Associations vs. Music Groups

The South Korean government and dance associations are advocating for the recognition and expansion of choreography copyright in the K-Pop industry, while music organizations oppose the move. The government plans to introduce a 'Choreography Copyright Standard Contract' to address what it sees as a copyright loophole. However, several music groups argue this could cause significant industry confusion and disputes. They contend that choreography is already covered under existing copyright laws, and further separation isn't warranted. Choreography copyright awareness has increased, driven by the Ministry of Culture's plans to bolster protections and craft guidelines for the K-Pop industry.
