코인노래방 사장이 되면 생기는 일: 사람값 0원 무인인데 왜 안 남을까

Three songs for one coin, costing 300 won per song. That is less than a quarter of the 20,000 won base fee at a standard karaoke room. Furthermore, since it is unmanned, the cost of human labor is 0 won. It appears to be the easiest business in the world, where coins accumulate automatically as long as the lights are kept on 24 hours a day. However, the number of karaoke rooms has shrunk from 38,000 in 2006 to below 30,000 today; over the past decade, 7,153 new rooms have opened, while 12,953 have closed. It is an unmanned business where the cost of human labor is 0 won, so why are so many closing down? We calculated exactly whose pockets that money saved by being unmanned ends up in. This is Part 8 of "The Boss's Bill," focusing on coin karaoke rooms. All figures were verified from the Fair Trade Commission's information disclosure statements, the Korea Music Copyright Association (KOMCA) collection regulations, the Ministry of the Interior and Safety's licensing regulations, the Music Industry Promotion Act, and original media reports, and sources are provided on the screen. ** Chapter 0:00 Opening: Unmanned Business with 0 Won Human Cost 1:38 Admission Fee: The Pitfalls of Startup Costs and Soundproofing 3:45 Hidden Machine: 99% of Karaoke Machines Are from One Company 5:59 Cost Analysis: Fixed Copyright Fees and Original Singers Worth 0 Won 7:50 Pitfalls: Business Closure, Betrayal by the Unmanned, Regulations 10:06 The Real Winners: Karaoke Machines, Copyrights, and Building Owners 12:00 Settlement: Two Scenarios 13:52 Conclusion: Paying Rent to Machines Instead of People Source of Numbers in This Video · Rates: 3 songs for 1,000 won (300 won per song), average basic fee for general karaoke rooms is 20,000 won: Fair Trade Commission / Newsis 2024 · TJ Media holds approximately 99% of the karaoke machine market (based on coin karaoke), revenue gap widens from 1.7 times in 2020 to 4.7 times in 2025 (TJ 94.4 billion vs. Kumyoung 20.2 billion), TJ revenue increased from 55.6 billion KRW in 2020 to 94.4 billion KRW in 2025, with 3,218 coin karaoke rooms = 13.6% of total singing practice rooms: The Korea Economic Daily 2026 (based on company-wide revenue/market share) · Increase in new song certification fees (TJ 20-30% in 2023, Kumyoung 42% cumulative over 4 years): Seoul Economic Daily 2022-2023 · Copyright fee fixed at 5,000-8,000 KRW per room per month (regardless of area or number of songs), 100,000 KRW+ per month only for KOMCA with 20 or more rooms, charged even during business suspension: Korea Music Copyright Association (KOMCA) Regulations on Collection of Musical Copyright Usage Fees / Financial News 2020 · Original singers receive virtually 0 KRW at karaoke rooms (neighboring rights for performers/record producers do not arise due to MIDI backing tracks, only lyric/composition copyrights) Imposition): Industry Comprehensive 2024 · Karaoke rooms decline from peak of 37,994 in 2006 to below approximately 30,000 in 2023: Ministry of the Interior and Safety Local Administration Licensing / The Korea Economic Daily 2024 · 7,153 openings vs. 12,953 closings in the last 10 years; 60 annual closures of coin karaoke rooms (approx. 8% of total closures): The Korea Economic Daily Deep Data 2024 · 389 openings in 2020 (all-time low since records began in 1987) vs. approximately 2,200 closings (highest in 13 years): Newsis / Ministry of the Interior and Safety 2021 · Thief visits 11 unmanned coin karaoke rooms over two weeks, smashes currency exchange machines, and steals 33 million won: Money Today / Hankook Ilbo 2025 · 52% of unmanned store thieves are teenagers 91% of perpetrators use equipment damage: S1 Crime Prevention Research Institute 2023 · No entry for minors between 10 PM and 9 AM; owners violating this rule face imprisonment of up to 2 years or a fine of up to 20 million won + a 10-day business suspension: Article 34 of the Music Industry Promotion Act · Total startup cost for a 40-pyeong franchise is approximately 160 million to 200 million won (soundproof interior approximately 2 million won per pyeong); franchise fee is 5 million won for new franchisees and 4 million won for acquisitions; headquarters revenue increased from 7.6 billion won in 2016 to 12.6 billion won in 2018: Fair Trade Commission Franchise Business Information Disclosure Statement 2020~2024 · Dual structure of copyright royalty trust organizations and Fair Trade Commission sanctions: KFTC 2023 This video does not recommend or promote joining a specific franchise or purchasing a specific karaoke machine; it is a structural analysis based on publicly available industry data.
