MCPA Co. will serve as a window for deciding and negotiating the provision of Korean contents to YouTube and other global digital service platforms. It will particularly focus on becoming a centralized distribution channel for K-pop music videos and other related contents to exploit the global attention the Korean music scene is getting right now.
The organization hopes to create new business models which can increase the global competition for Korean music. In addition, MCPA Co. will also continue to explore different methods to expand into a larger company that can represent Asia as a whole. To do that, it will secure broadcasting platforms and produce new contents using relevant IP.
(*VEVO is a joint venture among four large U.S. record labels—Universal Music Group (UMG), Sony Music Entertainment (SME), EMI and Warner Music Group (WMG). It distributes the music videos from its founding companies to YouTube, and provides sponsorship contracts, concert livestreams, etc.)
