• Negotiations to increase the minimum guaranteed payment for scripts from broadcasters

KTRWA negotiates the ‘Standard Fee Table for TV & Radio Writers’
on behalf of broadcast writers with major terrestrial broadcasters in Korea.
The ‘Standard Fee Table for TV & Radio Writers’ set through negotiations are the minimum writing royalties.
This is one of the key tasks our association undertakes annually to improve writers' treatment and working conditions.
It applies to all genres, including drama, documentary, entertainment/reality, and radio, and terrestrial broadcasters must pay
at least the standard fee.

• Copyright consultation and support for rights protection
• Trust management of non-member works

The Standard Agreement for TV Writers Writing has been established through consultations between
the Korean government, broadcasting stations, production companies, and KTRWA. It now serves as the standard agreement
for writer contracts in various broadcasting programs, including dramas, current affairs, and entertainment shows.

KTRWA provides legal consultation to help writers adhere to the Standard Agreement for TV Writers Writing and also urges broadcasters and production companies to draft contracts in accordance with it.
The Korean government likewise recommends the use of the Standard Agreement for TV Writers Writing.
Broadcasting stations and production companies that fail to produce written contracts may be subject to legal sanctions.
