BLACKPINK’s Rosé Leaves KOMCA to Focus on Global Music Rights
BLACKPINK’s Rosé has officially parted ways with the Korea Music Copyright Association (KOMCA), making her the first major Korean artist to do so in over two decades.
According to KOMCA, Rosé submitted her request to withdraw on October 31, 2024, and her contract officially ended on January 31, 2025. The organization, which represents over 50,000 members, plays a key role in protecting artists’ copyrights and collecting royalties.
Rosé’s decision comes after the massive success of her song “APT.” last October, which further solidified her position on the global stage. As she focuses more on international projects, managing her copyrights overseas is expected to be more efficient.
Last September, she signed an exclusive contract with Atlantic Records, a major label under Warner Music Group.
Moving forward, her copyrights will be handled through Atlantic in partnership with the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP), which represents nearly a million songwriters and composers.

Nigerian singer Omah Lay reveals that he rejected an offer from Davido to work together again on a track.
The singer shared his reason as he revealed this, stating he wants to pursue his career solo before any big collaboration.
“After we dropped the hit song ‘With You’, Davido called me for a new collaboration but I declined because I have my career to pursue too.”
Nigerian singer Harry song speaks on the rising insecurity in the country and shared that increasing the security income can help improve their performance in securing the country.
The singer took to social media and urged the government “TO MR PRESIDENT. IF YOU REALLY, TRULY WANNA END INSECURITY IN NIGERIA? Start by increasing the salary and allowances of the armed forces. The salary of the army, the navy, the air force, the Nigerian Police Force is too small, too shameful. Increase their salary, this job should be worth dying for. Increase their salaries ooooooo pls and pls.”
