HANOI (Vietnam News/Asia News Network): The Vietnam Centre for Protection of Music Copyright (VCPMC) has requested the authorities to withdraw Blackpink’s concert licence, citing serious violations of copyright regulations.

VCPMC made an announcement on Thursday (July 27), that it had asked the Hanoi People’s Committee and Hanoi Department of Culture and Sports to revoke the licence of the popular South Korean girl group’s concert due to the organisers’ failure to obtain copyright permission and pay royalties.
