MCPA was established to improve the global competitiveness of Korean music contents and artists, and to create new and advanced business models. As an integrated distribution channel for K-Pop music videos and related content, which has become a key trend in the global music industry, MCPA is expected to grow into one of the representative companies of Asia in the future.
