EXO, fromis_9, + more - Publishing Royalties

In 2015, EXO's "Love Me Right" reached No. 1 in South Korea. Ten years later, it found a whole new audience. The song was licensed for Netflix's animated film KPop Demon Hunters, and fans around the world went looking for the real K-pop behind the movie. They streamed it, made videos with it, and bought the album. Catalog earnings more than doubled over the last twelve months, and "Love Me Right" earned about seven times what it did the year before.

Much of that new audience is American. US listeners now make up 40% of the catalog's income, up from about a fifth the year before. Fan videos on YouTube and Facebook paid more than eight times what they did in the prior year, and Korean album sales of "Love Me Right" rose as well.

The catalog holds the publisher's share of nearly 60 songs, mostly K-pop recorded by Red Velvet, TWICE, Girls' Generation, Taeyeon, fromis_9 and I.O.I. Streaming brings in 62% of income, and licensing for film, TV, and online video adds 18%. Income comes from more than 30 countries, led by the United States (40%), China (15%), South Korea (14%) and Japan (5%).

"Love Me Right" earns 76% of the last twelve months, so the catalog's earnings will largely follow that song. About $2,800 of the recent increase came from one-time payments: roughly $1,700 in sync fees and $1,100 in catch-up for earlier periods. Without them, the last twelve months total about $9,900, still about double the prior year. The rest of the catalog has softened slowly since 2023.

Buyers get one of EXO's best-known songs. A deep bench of hits by the genre's biggest acts sits behind it. Any new film, show, or fan trend that brings one of these songs back is upside.

This catalog spans K-pop's biggest decade. It's anchored by EXO's "Love Me Right" (2015), which topped South Korea's main digital chart, won 11 music show awards and was licensed for KPop Demon Hunters in 2025.

The rest of the roster includes Red Velvet ("Zoo," "Mr. E"), Girls' Generation ("Paradise"), Taeyeon, TWICE ("Tuk Tok"), I.O.I and fromis_9, whose "Talk & Talk" (2021) earned the group its first music show win. J-pop stars Koda Kumi and E-girls add reach in Japan. Bella Thorne's "Bad Case of U" and Courtney Jenaé's dance-pop singles "Dirty Angel" and "Accelerate" round out the catalog.
