A cover album of North Korean pop songs featuring South Korean singers will be released in Seoul next month based on an unprecedented musical copyright contract between the two Koreas, promoters in Seoul said Wednesday.

Some Northern songs have gained popularity in the South, where they have been circulated illegally. Pyongyang has protested the unregistered circulation through informal channels since it established copyright laws in 2000.
