Simkins advises Magic Sound Entertainment on K-pop star IU’s H.E.R.E.H World Tour Concert in London

The Simkins team provided comprehensive guidance and advice on child performance licensing requirements as well as data protection and regulatory compliance. Utilising their extensive knowledge of media, entertainment and commercial law, Simkins delivered practical advice in a complex and niche area of the entertainment industry.

The matter was led by Partner Ed Baden-Powell with Associate Stephen Cartwright having day-to-day conduct of the matter, with assistance from Partner Stuart Smith and Trainee Solicitor Sophie Neal. Stephen Cartwright commented that “it was an absolute pleasure to assist the Magic Sound and wider iMe Entertainment Group team with IU’s London leg of her world tour. The success of this concert as well as opportunities for other K-pop artists such as SEVENTEEN who performed at Glastonbury this year demonstrates that K-pop music is truly a global phenomenon and here to stay.”

Our client commented that “the IU World Tour Concert in London could not have been a success without Simkins’ invaluable assistance and that Stephen’s advice was essential to the event’s success. We truly appreciate the work you provided and extend our heartfelt thanks to Stephen, Ed, Sophie and the team.”
