Four countries, including South Korea, the United States, Japan, and Taiwan, where professional baseball is flourishing, put their heads together.

The Korea Professional Baseball Players Association said on the 11th, "We visited the Secretariat of the Japan Professional Baseball Players Association (JPPA) in Tokyo, Japan on the 6th to hold an official meeting and discuss ways to protect player rights and cooperation in rights business."

The meeting was attended by Jang Dong-chul, secretary-general of the Korea Professional Baseball Players Association, and officials from the Japan Professional Baseball Players Association also attended to exchange opinions on major issues between the two associations.

The two associations discussed various fields such as ▲ management of player publicity rights (super rights) and operation of licensing businesses ▲ system and regulations for the protection of player rights ▲ fan participation events and events ▲ structure for promoting social contribution activities. In particular, they shared practical operational cases such as player publicity rights management, profit settlement structure, and rights business operation model and shared opinions on the direction of system development.

In addition, online monitoring cases and SNS slander and serious response systems recently operated by the Japan Professional Baseball Players Association were also shared. This is a system to respond to online malicious posts targeting players, and was introduced as a meaningful example in terms of player protection.

Jang Dong-cheol, secretary-general of the Korea Professional Baseball Players Association, said, "Korea and Japan represent Asian professional baseball, and there are many parts that can be referenced to each other in terms of protecting player rights and developing the system. Through this exchange, we were able to confirm various cases of operation of the Japanese Players Association, and it will be an important reference for improving the domestic system and improving player rights."

An official from the Japan Professional Baseball Players Association also said, "The exchange between the players associations of the two countries is a meaningful opportunity to share each other's experiences and policies," adding, "We look forward to continuing information exchange and cooperation in the future."

Meanwhile, the Korea Professional Baseball Players Association is strengthening its international cooperation network by continuously expanding exchanges with not only the Japanese Professional Baseball Players Association, but also with overseas players associations such as the American Professional Baseball Players Association (MLBPA) and the Taiwan Professional Baseball Players Association (TPBPA). Through this, the players' associations in four countries - Korea, the United States, Japan, and Taiwan - have laid a foundation for cooperation and continue discussions to protect players' rights and develop rights projects.
