Collaboration between MotoGP and K-POP has been confirmed.

The Korea Motorcycle Sports Federation (FOMS Korea), KMG Co., Ltd., and Madeone Co., Ltd., a company specializing in performance and cultural content, have joined forces to build a global sports entertainment platform.

The three companies signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) on the 19th and announced they will jointly promote a new type of global culture and tourism project that fuses motorcycle sports with K-POP music content.

This agreement is significant not only as a simple event collaboration but as a step toward creating a new industrial ecosystem where international sports and large-scale music content are combined.

FOMS Korea and KMG are currently working to host the MotoGP, the world's most prestigious motorcycle world championship, in South Korea, with the target year set for 2028.

A FOMS official, speaking to this newspaper by phone, stated, "The core of this project is not simply holding a race, but building a 'hybrid sports entertainment platform' that combines global sports events with K-POP performance content."

Based on its experience and network in operating large-scale performance content such as WATERBOMB, Madeone is reviewing the possibility of combining K-POP music festivals and global entertainment programs during the MotoGP period.

Industry experts have already projected that the economic impact of hosting MotoGP would reach the scale of several trillion won, and they expect that combining this with K-POP-based cultural content could give rise to an Asian-style sports entertainment model that is on a different scale from existing sports events.

A KMG official also explained, "This agreement is not merely about holding an event; it is an important first step toward securing a stable long-term contract with Dorna Sports, the organizer of MotoGP, and building a sustainable international content industry ecosystem."
