英國BBC：韓流音樂成功歸功於背後的奴隸協約

來源:網易娛樂

日本媒體報導，英國BBC新聞稱由於韓流音樂K-POP的不斷發展，現階段已經成功衝出亞洲逐漸走向歐美市場，但其成功的背後卻存在著對歌手培養以及其待遇的陰暗一面。

   根據BBC新聞的報導，如果K-POP的海外銷售額2009年的基準為325億韓元（約2億人民幣），那麼2010年迅速發展，已經將銷售額翻倍。 韓國歌手陸續加入日本樂壇，本月著名的SM公司更在巴黎舉行演唱會，並成功引起轟動。

   不過，BBC指出在K-POP的成功神話背後“奴隸協約”等長期的不合理的經紀人協約一直存在。 代表實例就是，兩年前人氣到達頂峰的東方神起成員與SM之間的官司糾紛。 根據韓國樂壇的估算，培養一組偶像組合最多花費約為10億韓元（約600萬人民幣），但在“廉價”的韓國樂壇，所屬的經紀人公司以及歌手很難收回投資成本，因此歌手們的合同在國內大環境下，很難有合理的對待。 而且為了收回投資成本，K-POP也不得不積極進軍海關音樂市場。

   另外，BBC引用韓國藝人協會的話：“韓國方面，對於K-POP走出去抱著一種提升國家經濟昌盛印象的心理，但是如果長期以往不讓歌手們得到合理的待遇，將來爆發的問題會比音樂上的成功更加引人注目。

哇~這引起國際媒體注意囉!!我特地去英國BBC網站找一下資訊

的確他們針對 KPOP的現況做了一篇專題報導

Korea is excited by what this new musical export could do for its image - and its economy.

But some of K-Pop's biggest success stories were built on the back of so-called slave contracts, which tied its trainee-stars into long exclusive deals, with little control or financial reward.

 Dong Bang Shin Ki took their contract fight to court Two years ago, one of its most successful groups, Dong Bang Shin Ki, took its management company to court, on the grounds that their 13-year-contract was too long, too restrictive, and gave them almost none of the profits from their success.

The court came down on their side, and the ruling prompted the Fair Trade Commission to issue a "model contract" to try to improve the deal artists got from their management companies.

Industry insiders say the rising success of K-Pop abroad, and experience with foreign music companies, has also helped push for change.

"Until now, there hasn't been much of a culture of hard negotiation in Asia, especially if you're new to the industry," says Sang-hyuk Im, an entertainment lawyer who represents both music companies and artists.

Attitudes are changing, he says, but there are some things that even new contracts and new attitudes cannot fix.

大概是說韓國流行音樂在成功光鮮亮麗的下其實就是奴隸合同所造就

拿2年前最成功的團體東方神起為了他們的合同爭取應有的權利

對經紀管理公司提出申訴，理由是他們13年的合同太長，太嚴格，並給他們的利潤幾乎與他們的付出不成正比。

接下來有公平交易委員會發出的“標準合同”，試圖提高藝人和經紀管理公司彼此之間的對等公平

韓國政府很高興自己的韓國音樂在世界各國引起風潮

但這些都是一群有夢想的孩子血淚啊!!
