  • The K-Pop Wave: an Economic Analysis
    The K-pop Wave: An Economic Analysis Patrick A. Messerlin1 Wonkyu Shin2 (new revision October 6, 2013) ABSTRACT This paper first shows the key role of the Korean entertainment firms in the K-pop wave: they have found the right niche in which to operate— the ‘dance-intensive’ segment—and worked out a very innovative mix of old and new technologies for developing the Korean comparative advantages in this segment. Secondly, the paper focuses on the most significant features of the Korean market which have contributed to the K-pop success in the world: the relative smallness of this market, its high level of competition, its lower prices than in any other large developed country, and its innovative ways to cope with intellectual property rights issues. Thirdly, the paper discusses the many ways the K-pop wave could ensure its sustainability, in particular by developing and channeling the huge pool of skills and resources of the current K- pop stars to new entertainment and art activities. Last but not least, the paper addresses the key issue of the ‘Koreanness’ of the K-pop wave: does K-pop send some deep messages from and about Korea to the world? It argues that it does. Keywords: Entertainment; Comparative advantages; Services; Trade in services; Internet; Digital music; Technologies; Intellectual Property Rights; Culture; Koreanness.

  • An Analysis of the Korean Pop Industry, Seven-Year Statute, and Talent Agencies Act of California
    UCLA UCLA Entertainment Law Review Title Discovering the Full Potential of the 360 Deal: An Analysis of the Korean Pop Industry, Seven-Year Statute, and Talent Agencies Act of California Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/88z2z7wm Journal UCLA Entertainment Law Review, 20(2) ISSN 1073-2896 Author Tsai, Patricia Publication Date 2013 DOI 10.5070/LR8202027172 Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California Discovering the Full Potential of the 360 Deal: An Analysis of the Korean Pop Industry, Seven-Year Statute, and Tal- ent Agencies Act of California Patricia Tsai* The 360 deal has been an attractive option for music labels in the United States to gain traction in the faltering music industry, but po- tential legal obstacles may hinder the incentive to enter into the deals both for the label andfor the artist. Labels entering into 360 deals may find themselves liablefor violating the Seven-Year Statute or the Talent Agencies Act (TAA). With 360 agreements becoming more popular, labels should turn to an existing music industry that has dealt with the potentiallegal problems of 360 dealsfor years. The Korean pop industry, commonly called "K-pop, " has taken advantage of a 360-deal-like model for many years, and as a conse- quence, many Korean labels have experienced the potential legal prob- lems that American labels may face. Particularly,the legal problems faced by S.M Entertainment, a talent agency and music label giant in South Korea, as a result of their contract with TVXQ, a popular and hugely successful boy band,reveal exactly the type ofpotential liability faced by American music labels.

Jeong -yeob Park [email protected] 1Q21 review : Above our Revenue of W178.3bn (+28.7% YoY), OP of W21.7bn (+9.2% YoY) expectations and in line with While there were no offline performances or album releases (except for TXT in Japan) in the consensus quarter, merchandising/licensing revenue was strong. Direct revenue was W67.5bn (-24.1% YoY), not far off from our estimate (W70.8bn), affected by a lull in artist activities. Indirect revenue surprised at W110.8bn (+123.4% YoY), as merchandising sales remained steady even in the absence of activities. Despite a 12%p QoQ rise in the indirect revenue mix, OP margin declined to 12.2% (-2.2%p YoY, -5.6% QoQ). This was largely due to the absence of activities and one-off expenses related to the company’s office relocation, name change, and M&A, and is thus not a cause for concern.

Platform indicators to improve: With the resumption of label activities in 2Q21 and the upcoming inclusion of Ithaca Holdings/YG Entertainment artists, we expect Weverse/Weverse Shop traffic to improve in both quantity and quality (increases in MAU and ARPPU).
