HANGZHOU, China, May 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- RBW Inc. (KOSDAQ: 361570), a leading integrated content production company and home to top K-POP acts such as MAMAMOO, ONEUS, ONEWE, and PURPLE KISS, has entered into a strategic copyright partnership with NetEase Cloud Music (HKEX: 9899), one of China's most influential music streaming platforms. This collaboration is set to mark a new chapter in Korea-China music exchange and accelerate K-POP's expansion into the Chinese market.

Under this partnership, RBW will provide access to its entire catalog on NetEase Cloud Music, including all group and solo releases from its artists—MAMAMOO's Solar and Moon byul included. Future releases will also be rolled out as exclusives, offering earlier access to Chinese fans.

This alliance goes beyond conventional music distribution, aiming to foster deeper industry cooperation and cultural exchange between Korea and China. Built on mutual trust, the partnership reflects both parties' commitment to long-term collaboration and shared strategic goals in the Asian music ecosystem.

With over 200 million monthly active users (MAU), NetEase Cloud Music stands as a dominant platform in China, particularly among the Gen-Z demographic born in the 1990s and 2000s. Through this partnership, RBW is expected to significantly enhance its connection with local fans and strengthen K-POP's footprint in the region.

An RBW representative commented, "Our partnership with NetEase Cloud Music is a strategic collaboration built on trust—not just a copyright deal. We are committed to expanding the global competitiveness of K-POP through various forms of future cooperation."
