Gotta wait and see if it takes off or ends up like Apple Music, also if it counts towards PAKs and music shows.
As for now, there are so many streaming platforms available in Korea and Melon + Genie combined account for like 75% market share so Spotify will have quite the task at hand.

Also from what I'm reading, Kakao M owns Melon so Spotify won't have IU songs in it, which for Korea is oof.

They can make IUs songs not available in Korea though like how Gfriends Japanese songs aren't available for us on Spotify

Have to see if this goes anywhere as people might not be willing to move over easily from the likes of Melon, Genie and Flo especially

That would be weird tbh

That's how competition works though as IU not being on the platform would kill it almost immediately

I don’t get why we couldn’t have same songs for everyone in a same platform no matter where you live...

Well in this case it'd come down to being business to make sure Melon stays on top

They're gonna be missing like half of kpop so I find it hard to see how this gets any real traction
