All 10 episodes of season four of The Bear are available to stream online starting on Wednesday (June 25), in addition to seasons one, two and three. The previous season left off with Carmen “Carmy” Berzatto (Jeremy Allen White) trapped in anxiety with his newly-restored restaurant. While Carmy has a meltdown due to his fear of failure, the team gets it together to steer things back on course.

Now, season four focuses on the repercussions of Carmy’s outburst as he continues to push himself and those around him to an almost unattainable perfection while trying to keep his new establishment afloat.

Seoul-based Beyond Music said on Monday (June 23) it bought the publishing rights to 33-songs by songwriter and producer Bekuh Boom, best known for her work with K-pop superstars BLACKPINK.

Boom, an American musician now releasing her own music as BOOMBBY, cowrote BLACKPINK hits “Kill This Love,” “DDU-DU DDU-DU,” “Ice Cream,” “BOOMBAYAH,” and “Pretty Savage,” songs that have each accumulated over half a billion streams on Spotify, according to Beyond.

Formed in 2016, BLACKPINK was the first K-pop girl group to top Billboard‘s Top Album Sales charts with their 2020 debut The Album. Featured on that record was “Ice Cream,” a 2020 collaboration with Selena Gomez, that became the group’s highest charting success yet, peaking at No. 13, and “Kill This Love,” which topped out at No. 41 in 2019.

One of Asia’s leading music catalog and data management companies, Beyond Music recently bought a stake in the copyright of BTS’ “Butter,” a chart-topper that spent 10 weeks at No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot 100 over the summer of 2021. While the terms of both acquisitions — for rights to the song performed by BTS and those written by Boom — were not disclosed, the deals cement Beyond Music’s presence as a major influencer in the future use of these K-pop megahits.   

“By acquiring rights to signature tracks from both BTS and BLACKPINK — two of the most iconic acts in K-pop — we’ve reached a major milestone in executing our global strategy,” Jinwoo Jo, CEO of Beyond Music, said in a statement. “It’s also an honor to invest in the work of Bekuh Boom, a world-class songwriter whose catalog continues to resonate with audiences worldwide. We look forward to supporting her future creative endeavors and building a long-term partnership.”

Boom has penned over 10 No. 1 K-pop hits for artists including Winner, Jeon Somi and TAEYANG, for whom she wrote the 2014 chart-topper “Eyes, Nose Lips,” according to Beyond Music.

Beyond Music previously bought the catalogs of Greg Wells, a Grammy-winning Canadian songwriter-producer whose credits includes music recorded by Adele, Taylor Swift, Dua Lipa, Katy Perry and Quincy Jones, and Puerto Rican reggaetón star Yandel, whose catalog included his publishing interests and royalties, his share of performance royalties and neighboring rights royalties. 

After Five Finger Death Punch learned its original indie label, Prospect Park, had sold its master recordings without its knowledge, the veteran hard-rock band looked to Taylor Swift for inspiration. 

“She could have gone into a costly lawsuit, or she could have felt sorry for herself. [Instead] she just sprung into action and did what she had to do,” guitarist Zoltan Bathory tells Billboard. “That’s the way of life, and we will do what is necessary and legally can be done.”

Like Swift, Five Finger Death Punch is re-recording its early hits, including “Under and Over It” and “Far From Home,” and will release them in two greatest hits albums, beginning with Best Of, Volume 1, due July 19. “She got them to think a little bit about what their rights were,” says the band’s manager, Allen Kovac of 10th Street Entertainment. “They want to be able to determine how these songs are promoted, marketed, licensed, visualized.”

Since Kovac took over Five Finger Death Punch’s management roughly 15 years ago, he and the band have been locked in a battle with Prospect Park and its founder, longtime artist manager Jeff Kwatinetz. Kovac says Kwatinetz, who launched Limp Bizkit, Korn and many others beginning in the 1990s and still manages Limp Bizkit and Ice Cube, signed the band to “the worst deal I’ve ever seen.” According to Kovac, Kwatinetz took 50% of the band’s touring, publishing and merchandising revenues and promised a 50-50 joint venture in which the band “never had ownership and they thought they did.”

Several of the Prospect Park productions were hits. These include 2013’s The Wrong Side of Heaven … Volume 1 and 2015’s Got Your Six, which both peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard 200, and 2011’s American Capitalist, which landed at No. 3. But though “they did very well, financially,” says Kovac, “on the record side, [the band] kept seeing less and less money.” He adds that Five Finger Death Punch had to make a deal with Kwatinetz promising two new albums in exchange for control of touring, merch and publishing. 

In 2016, Prospect Park filed a lawsuit against Five Finger Death Punch, accusing the band of attempting to rush-release a “mediocre studio album” while “shamelessly attempting to cash in before the anticipated downfall of their addicted bandmate,” a reference to singer Ivan Moody, who had publicly disclosed his alcohol-addiction issues. The band and the label settled in 2017, but, Kwatinetz tells Billboard, Kovac stopped cooperating with his company, so “I sold my half.” 

Kwatinetz declined to report who bought his half of the joint venture between the band and the label, or the sale date, due to a non-disclosure agreement. Kovac identifies the company as Spirit Music Group, which lists Five Finger Death Punch on the “masters catalogs” section of its website, although Spirit reps declined to comment on the band’s status with the company. “He never contacted the band to tell them he was selling,” Kovac says. “He didn’t even give them the opportunity to go to the bank, get a down payment and pay him with assets from their side.”

“Allen’s allegations, as usual, are utterly false,” Kwatinetz responds. “We took a band no one else wanted to sign [and] made them the most-played band at active rock for over a decade. The band made millions and millions of dollars, had nine or 10 gold or platinum records. Allen’s intent was always to try to break the contract so he could put it out on his own label.”

Kwatinetz adds that he’s “glad” the band is re-recording its earlier tracks, because the re-recorde  versions of “I Refuse” (featuring Maria Brink, singer of metal band In This Moment), “Jekyll and Hyde” and a cover of Bad Company‘s “Bad Company,” from the forthcoming Volume 1, have given “a boost in airplay and streaming to all of the original recordings.” 

Five Finger Death Punch’s dispute with its early label is similar to Swift’s. In 2019, the superstar publicly expressed her outrage when Scooter Braun, Justin Bieber‘s manager, bought the Nashville record company Big Machine Label Group, which had released her original recordings. Angered that control of her catalog went to Braun, who’d worked with Kanye West — with whom Swift has had a notoriously rocky relationship — she tried and failed to buy back the masters from Braun, then Shamrock Capital, which later purchased her masters for $300 million. But on May 30, after re-recording four of her first six albums and marketing them as “Taylor’s Versions,” Swift announced she had purchased the masters from Shamrock for an undisclosed price.

Other artists, including Wheatus, Bowling for Soup and Switchfoot, have also re-recorded original material, and credited Swift for educating fans on the business reasons for doing so — allowing them, for example, to keep any licensing fees from movies and commercials. Five Finger Death Punch’s re-recordings coincide with its 20th anniversary, which Bathory calls a “coincidence,” and says: “I don’t want to say the obvious — the lemons are being made into lemonade — but basically that’s what happened.”

By phone from the band’s Las Vegas home base, Bathory adds that Five Finger Death Punch members did not follow Swift’s meticulous approach to making sure most of the new “Taylor’s Versions” resembled the originals. The band re-recorded their parts in separate studios, beginning in February, then mailed them to each other to combine them later — a procedure that is considerably easier than coming up with entirely new songs. “This process is pretty quick,” he says. “Some of these songs we’ve played 1 million times.”
