Of course, copyright, portrait rights and publicity rights exist in Korea as well.
but,Compared to Japan, we have a relaxed awareness of intellectual property rights.It can be said that.
for example,In Korea, fans often film celebrities during live shows and events.
Of course it depends on the officeSome agencies have acquiesced to filming at live shows and events.I'll do it😳
In recent years, there has been a tendency for Korean idols/artists to expand into the world.
In particular, Europe, the United States, Japan and other countries are strict about intellectual property rights, and there is a gap between how Korea and overseas support methods are supported.
Therefore, when it comes to activities around the world,There is a great chance that the way office is cracking down on can change.It must be.

For example, in Japan, intellectual property rights are strict,Don't include a photo of your face in your fan or slogan、Enter your favorite nameOften there😌
There are also many official merchandise with decorations.
It's popular in Japan recently「My favorite name plate」It's one of my own products that doesn't use photos!
on the other hand,In Korea, add photos of your face to your fans or slogansThat's often the case.
This is not only due to the looseness of intellectual property rights, but also the fact that a large amount of material is circulated online.
Therefore,Homemade goods made using unofficial materialsYou can also see a lot!
However, depending on the talent agency,To the live venueDo not bring homemade goods,orGoods regulationsis provided.
When participating in a live performance, be sure to read all the precautions carefully.😊
