BLACKPINK Songwriter Bekuh Boom Sells Publishing Catalog to Beyond Music

The Seoul-based music rights and data management firm bought rights to songs like "Ice Cream," "Kill This Love," and "Pretty Savage."

Seoul-based Beyond Music said on Monday (June 23) it bought the publishing rights to 33-songs by songwriter and producer Bekuh Boom, best known for her work with K-pop superstars BLACKPINK. While the terms of both acquisitions — for rights to the song performed by BTS and those written by Boom — were not disclosed, the deals cement Beyond Music’s presence as a major influencer in the future use of these K-pop megahits. “By acquiring rights to signature tracks from both BTS and BLACKPINK — two of the most iconic acts in K-pop — we’ve reached a major milestone in executing our global strategy,” Jinwoo Jo, CEO of Beyond Music, said in a statement.
