YG manages some of the most well-known Kpop stars, including BLACKPINK, BIG BANG, iKON, WINNER, TREASURE, and AKMU. YG has enormous potential to produce digital assets, such as NFTs, by leveraging its intellectual property (IP) rights across a variety of industries.
Non-fungible token (NFT) is a one-of-a-kind digital token that allows artists to share their work in a unique way. By fulfilling more than simply a consumption purpose for fans, NFT’s success is paving the road for a shift in the music and Kpop industry’s paradigm.
Kpop has dominated the Korean Wave, gaining millions of admirers all over the world. The MoU with Binance is expected to allow YG to expand its business in the NFT industry more rapidly.
Binance and YG also want to work together to develop the Metaverse and actively seek other digital asset opportunities to provide unique experiences and services for fans.
Bo Kyung Hwang, YG’s Chief Executive Officer, commented on the recent partnership. As per Bo, YG aims to steadily develop an eco-friendly and innovative NFT ecosystem. A partnership with Binance will offer a chance for YG to secure new opportunities and royalties for valuable and rare content. YG also hopes that the collaboration will cement the bond between artists and fans.
