Performances such as musicals and plays are looking for new ways to go abroad with paid online performances.

However, it is a big deal because there are numerous sites where performances are secretly recorded and illegally traded.



This is Kim Soo-hyun.

creative musical Gwangyeom Sonata broadcasts the performances currently being held in Daehak-ro online in real time around the world every day.



K-pop singers such as Super Junior Ryeowook were cast to raise the interest of overseas Korean Wave fans, and 10 cameras deliver a vivid sense of reality.



So far, we have been connecting from a total of 45 countries for paid viewing, with the largest number of Japanese audiences.



[CEO Shin Jeong-hwa/Shin's Wave: Performances can only be seen in limited theaters with limited time, so I can't really expect much from a distribution perspective.

I wanted to unfold this (by

Other production companies are also exploring new markets through online streaming, theater screenings, and video-on-demand.



However, the so-called Milnok, Milcam, and the video and sound sources of unauthorized performances on the market are an obstacle.



[Han Seung-won/HJ Culture Representative: (in the future) I think there will be more video performances. How can we prevent illegally recorded or distributed parts? We are urgently thinking about this issue.] The



current copyright law is for video works. The penalties for unauthorized recording are clear, but the rules for performance works are poor.



[Park Jeong-in/Haein Art Law Research Center Director: It is necessary to revise (Article 104 of the Copyright Act, Article 6 of the Copyright Act) so that recording devices, recording, and public transmission are not allowed in concert halls.

Unless people's perception of'Milnok' is completely improved, it seems to be the most urgent regulation.]



Amid the opening of a new market with

video

and online performances, the improvement of the copyright-related system for performances and changes in perception are emerging as a prerequisite.
