imagine the outragfe if they deleted BTSs & Blackpinks discography

Yeah they wouldn't dare lol.
Removing IU is still pretty big tho.

NOOOO BRING BACK THE CHASER

If that's not bad enough I think Loona's gone too
EDIT: NVM Loona still safe

and this is why youtube is my best friend

Youtube Music seems alright for me, maybe i should ditch spotify.

It's so weird, DC's Scream and that whole album is gone but we still have Boca and Odd Eye.
Kakao M is restricting access to millions of listeners worldwide and just keeping their Korean users, which surely can't be a longterm thing. They'll probably be back once Kakao M/Spotify reach a deal.

They'll probably be back in some weeks/months
Spotify probably gotta pay more and Kakao M will agree.

Lowkey glad I never subscribed to Spotify, Apple music has never let me down when it comes to KPop

It's not Spotify, it's Kakao M.

It's not Spotify, it's Kakao M.

They removed a shit ton of songs from Spotify because of Kakao M and I figured it was because Spotify finally came to Korea and is NOW seen as competition.

I mean, clearly, but that's not Spotify to blame for. Kakao M owns MelOn, and on MelOn you have to pay if you want to listen to the entire song. Spotify and Kakao M couldn't agree to the terms, resulting in Kakao M removing all of their songs from Spotify.

 

[eclipsoul]

they got sunggyu too??? youtube has always been superior anyway

 

[Lovely_Cornchips]

THERE ARE LITERALLY 3 CLC SONGS LEFT UP A DN NO 4MINUTE ONES
