Jam Factory (Korean: 잼 팩토리; RR: Jaem Paektori) is a South Korean music publisher which sources song tunes and lyrics for K-pop, J-pop and Mandopop artists from songwriters predominantly based in the US.[1] Writers of the tunes are often songwriters for American companies, such as Brandon Fraley, a well known provider of tunes to South Korean girl and boy bands, who is a songwriter for Sony Music Publishing in Los Angeles. Korean, Japanese and Chinese language lyrics are usually provided by Jam Factory's own lyricists based in Seoul.[2]

As with the songwriters of America's Motown era Jam Factory's songwriters and lyricists may support a band's development over many years. For example, Girls' Generation songwriter team has included Korean lyricist Kim Hee-jeong for over 8 years, his lyrics growing with the band.[3]
