Korea Music Copyright Association

Founded in 1964, it is the second collective rights management organization for musical works in Asia, after JASRAC in Japan.[12] In October 2014, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism (MCST) approved the establishment of a new copyright association, the Korean Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (KOSCAP), in an attempt to "create competition and extend the rights of [music] creators".[13] In April 2015, MCST approved KOSCAP's new copyright royalty distribution system, which treats all types of music equally.[14] On December 4, 2011, KOMCA held the inaugural Korea Music Copyright Awards at Olympic Hall in Seoul.[15] Pdogg, long-time producer and composer for boy group BTS, is the most awarded songwriter in this category, having won the grand prize for five consecutive years between 2019 and 2023.
