President Lee Jae-myung addressed concerns on September 29 regarding copyright issues related to music in KTV videos, which have posed challenges for private YouTubers in content creation.
On this day, President Lee shared relevant information on X (formerly Twitter), stating, "This is what I have been informed." The KTV YouTube channel operates for public purposes and does not generate advertising revenue. However, if private channels reprocess KTV videos that include copyrighted music, the advertising revenue goes to the music rights holders. If they forgo advertising revenue, they can use the videos.
To generate revenue, creators can download clean versions of KTV videos without copyrighted music from the 'KTV Nanuri Portal' and edit them by adding free music or music for which they have secured separate licenses.
President Lee requested that KTV use music that is as free of copyright issues as possible, but he acknowledged that this may have limitations in fully resolving the issue, as it could lead to a decline in content quality.
