[TV Daily Reporter Kim Han-gil] The Korea Music Copyright Association (KoMC) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Oikos University in the United States to support music copyright education and nurture global music talent. This marks the first official partnership that KoMC has established with an overseas institution.
The signing ceremony took place on the 20th, attended by KoMC President Lee Si-ha and Oikos University President Kim Jong-in along with key representatives. Oikos University, a private comprehensive university, offers various programs in fields such as music, arts, and theology, having recently introduced master's and doctoral programs in music.
Under this agreement, both institutions aim to provide tuition discounts for KoMC members enrolling at Oikos, as well as fee reductions for KoMC trust contract applications for music major students. This collaboration is expected to enhance global educational opportunities for members and strengthen their creative skills.
The signing of the MOU between KoMC and Oikos University marks a significant step in expanding the international influence of Korean music copyright. Oikos University offers a range of music education programs, providing a unique opportunity to cultivate practical creative skills within the global music ecosystem.
One of the main advantages of this agreement is the potential for KoMC members to access educational benefits abroad. This will enable Korean musicians and students to better compete on the international stage while enhancing their understanding of copyright and improving their creative abilities. Such educational initiatives are poised to contribute to the advancement of the Korean music industry.
As President Lee emphasized, this agreement serves as an essential first step in spreading the value of Korean music copyright. Continued efforts towards nurturing global creative talent will solidify Korea's position in the international music market.
