KOMCA, or Korean Music Copyright Association, is a South Korean non-profit copyright collective for musical works, public performance and broadcasting rights, and mechanical recording and reproduction rights. It was founded in 1964 and is the second collective rights management organization for musical works in Asia, after JASRAC in Japan, making it one of the largest in Asia, with over 20,000 members.
BTS’ RM and SUGA’s KOMCA credits have been increased after making new songs that created new records for them. RM is now said to have 199 credits, making him the second and youngest most credited Korean artist.
SUGA, on the other hand, has 147 KOMCA credits after registering the song ‘Our Island’ from their game ‘BTS: In The Some’
