This sucks, i cant have one platform to listen to kpop music, i thought the korean government wanted to use kpop as soft power.

Apink and BtoB have gone too, this sucks. Hopefully they'll sort things out soon and get their discographies back.

I guess this melon (kakao m) attempt to slow down the growth of their direct competitor, spotify will have to conduct new deals to pull these companies back in.

CLC is gone but gidle is still on spotify, this is weird.

These shouldnt be available for most too now as they are being distributed by Kakao M, or are going to be if this drags out for long
IU, Cherry Bullet, The Boyz, Epik High, LOONA, STAYC, Weeekly, AOA, APRIL, Elris, some of Seventeen, GFRIEND, CRAVITY, MAMAMOO

I imagine Twitter is anarchy right about now. Glad Tablo has called them out about it.

Thankfully my AOA tracks are safe, Vixx were hit the hardest on my personal playlist.

I really hope I won't have to re add all the songs manually, thats at least about 300 songs missing from my playlistr
