Could a new formula for K-pop growth be taking shape? 👀✨ The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and Korea Creative Content Agency (kocca_official ) have launched the “Global Leap Program for Small and Mid-Sized Entertainment Agencies” for the first time this year. 💡 While K-pop continues to enjoy global success, the industry remains largely dominated by major agencies. This initiative aims to support a wider range of artists and companies in expanding onto the global stage. The first selected teams include RESCENE(rescene_official), xikers (xikers_official), TUNEXX (tunexx_official), KIIRAS (kiiras__official), can’t be blue (cant_beblue), 82MAJOR (82major_official), Big Ocean (big_ocean.official), USPEER (uspeer.official), X:IN (x.in_official), and 8TURN (8turn.official) ✨ Selected agencies will receive up to ₩300 million (approximately $200,000 USD) per year, with support available for up to three years based on performance. The program also stands out for its flexibility...
