BLACKPINK’s Rosé has officially terminated her contract with the Korea Music Copyright Association (KOMCA) as she shifts her focus toward a broader international market.

Rosé, who joined KOMCA in 2021, applied to end her copyright trust on 31 October 2024. Following a three-month grace period, her contract officially concluded on 31 January 2025.

Founded in 1967, KOMCA is South Korea’s largest organization specializing in music copyright management, overseeing the revenue collection and distribution for most musicians in the country.

With her exit from KOMCA, Rosé’s copyright revenue is now expected to be handled by Atlantic Records, the label managing her global activities.

Industry insiders suggest that Rosé’s decision stems from her significantly higher earnings in the US market compared to South Korea. According to The Korea Herald, her revenue from the US is estimated to be roughly ten times greater than her earnings in Korea.

Additionally, KOMCA’s revenue collection process for international markets can take up to a year, whereas direct management by her global label could streamline this process.

As Rosé continues to expand her international presence, this move signals a strategic shift in managing her music rights to align with her growing global career.
