South Korea’s KOMCA ends ban on AI-assisted songs – false filings now risk royalty holds and contract termination

South Korea‘s largest music copyright collective has ended its ban on registering songs made with artificial intelligence.
The amended rules took effect on Monday (August 3), replacing a ban that had applied since March 24, 2025.
South Korea‘s Board of Audit and Inspection sampled 8,540 songs from 29 writers who had each entrusted more than 200 works to KOMCA in 2024.
KOMCA‘s move also lands within days of two developments in AI music law elsewhere.
HYBE is already among the companies pushing for industry-wide AI rules, having joined Universal Music Group, Sony Music, Warner Music Group, and others in proposing chart-eligibility principles for AI music in July.
