South Korea
As of 2017, South Korea had outpaced Canada and is now the world’s 6th biggest music market (IFPI 2017). With the world-dominating force of BTS and K-pop and K-rock, it’s a palpable export market, but it is also a growing market for import, with huge festivals and an appetite for English-language music. This is to say nothing of the many neighboring markets like Singapore and Japan. Learn what works in the Korean and southeast Asian markets, how to distribute your music to be heard by those audiences, and how and when to secure festival bookings and live dates.
