A leading driver and strong advocate for European Businesses in Korea
[Yulchon] Media & Entertainment Team Launch
Korean law firm Yulchon LLC has launched a dedicated Media & Entertainment Team in response to the rapidly evolving legal landscape surrounding Korea’s fast-growing content and entertainment industry.
As the Korean entertainment sector continues to expand in scale and global influence, legal issues facing entertainment companies and artists have become increasingly complex. In addition to traditional matters such as talent management and contractual disputes between agencies and artists, companies are now navigating a broader range of corporate, regulatory and reputational risks. These include intellectual property disputes, corporate governance issues, capital markets regulations, labor and employment matters arising from expanding production teams, and compliance challenges linked to large-scale content production. The rise of global streaming platforms and the increasing use of artificial intelligence in content creation have also heightened the importance of proactive risk management across the industry.
Yulchon’s newly established Media & Entertainment Team brings together lawyers with extensive experience advising entertainment companies, artists and content producers across the full lifecycle of content creation and distribution. The team focuses on providing integrated legal solutions covering investment and financing structures, IP protection, artist management issues, and crisis and reputation management. Its services include risk management strategies tailored to different stages of production and business operations, crisis response and communication strategies for high-profile incidents involving artists, as well as legal and ethical guidance related to AI-driven content creation.
The team also works closely with Yulchon’s market-leading tax group to advise on regulatory and tax issues related to the growing use of single-person corporate structures by entertainers and creators, an increasingly common structure in Korea’s entertainment industry. The team brings together a multidisciplinary group of lawyers with experience across entertainment, corporate, labor and tax law. By combining expertise from multiple practice areas, the team is designed to provide integrated legal solutions addressing the increasingly complex legal and regulatory issues facing the media and entertainment industry.
