Am I the only one here to not care about it

You should be enraged

Don’t be angry but I don’t listen to much Kpop on Spotify anyways

 

[Willow]

I am not tbh

That's good for you but I had playlists with thousands of songs on them and they just got cut down by a fuck ton and this is my main way of listening to music since I don't like constantly having to find songs on youtube. And I use Spotify to track my listens for my lists.

I hope they’ll be back soon for you.

Not likely since Kakao M is being greedy.

I am positive this will be resolved one way or the other. Literally, only the big 4 companies are safe, along with few others that didn't use Kakao as a distributor. There's no way this will pass with the fans. I'd expect Kakao M to plummet.

I hope it does there is no way I'm blowing money on them and I hope others feel the same way and protest some way.

We have to wait and see

Even if you want, you can't. Legally, you cannot have a MelOn account if you are not from Korea. There are workarounds, like, getting a Korean SIM card, but it's really a mess.

Ugh I hope Koreans take action then because that's fucked.

epik high also complained about it on twitter, because it's screwing the artists over

That's so fucking upsetting-I'm such a massive Epik High fan and I feel so upset that I can no longer easily access songs like True Crime.
