NewJeans and ILLIT Choreography Dispute: Will Standardized Regulations Emerge?

The Korea Times

The choreography dispute between NewJeans and ILLIT has sparked a significant conversation about dance copyrights. Kang Won-rae, a member of the duo Clon, was recently recognized as the creator of the 'Kungddari Shabahrah' dance in a landmark decision by the KB Financial Group in October. This move raises questions about the future of choreography ownership and whether standardized regulations will emerge to resolve such disputes. With the rise of K-pop and dance challenges, the issue of choreography copyrights has become increasingly important, highlighting the need for clear guidelines and protections for creators. Key terms like 'choreography rights' and 'dance ownership' are becoming more prominent in the industry.
