  • KpeachyStan peachy 🍑 (@KpeachyStan) reported

    @ItsYazJSYWD Jae tweeted that long before the issue between spotify and kakao m came out

  • sailordeobri insane person tweets🌙 (@sailordeobri) reported

    spotify literally has nothing to gain doing all this when their service won't even go towards chart data???? literally doing this to make a point and solidify a domestic deal

  • sassynight_ ❖ 사스 sas ☀️ (@sassynight_) reported

    I’ve been paying for Spotify Premium every month since 2015... that’s 6 yrs down the drain besties

  • miss_shushi shU #BYLAC #HILAC (@miss_shushi) reported

    Aside from uaena, it seems most othem fandom blamed Kakao M for this issue. I would say, even tho I'm uaena, I won't defend them for their decision not to alert the artists/fans/users involved. They should be held accountable as much as Spotify. Stan the artist, not company.

    @dolljhs_ @hibtsrlegends Kakao M is one of the largest co publisher companies of sk. I guess it's under melon so due to some issues all songs distributed by Kakao M have been removed from Spotify

  • yunhyeongjpg 왜왜왜 MARCH 3 (@yunhyeongjpg) reported

    Do not let the lip service by both Kakao M and Spotify fool you! They do not give a damn about their consumers!

  • wonreya Shreya (@wonreya) reported

    was chilling w/ Lean on Me on repeat yesterday and suddenly the music stopped at 1.02 seconds.. I was happy blaming my internet for the pause until Twitter revealed Kakao M x Spotify trouble urggh

  • oh_aew mori ✧ CHUANG2021 LOCKDOWN (@oh_aew) reported

    @LordWormseok I literally only found oyt about it yesterday when all the issue with Spotify happened and I wish I knew about it sooner

  • Ahgamond Mars is on a Kingdom lockdown (@Ahgamond) reported

    @MintChoc21 @soompi Royalties got nothing to do with it Melon (Kakao M's music service) literally has been known to not pay their artists for years, if anything Spotify is better in that field

  • asiangirlessays elle (@asiangirlessays) reported

  • S0NGD4HYE E ಥ L ಥ I (@S0NGD4HYE) reported

    The pain I feel losing so much music on Spotify 😔 I used to download everything but lost it all years ago when my old laptop died, so I switched to a streaming service bc I was tired of dealing with files but now this... I don’t even have a disc drive on my computer either rip

  • Distantsunfun Argybargy (@Distantsunfun) reported

    Ok Spotify, shifting from Madonna's "Erotica" to Yusuf's "Morning Has Broken" is quite a choice

  • M00NLIGHTMIN ***⁷ (@M00NLIGHTMIN) reported

    It’s the way like 2 days ago I wanted to listen to hot issue but forgot as usual and now I can’t listen to it on Spotify. A mess

  • chizucakeu it's me Dii!! (@chizucakeu) reported

    @haonflouer I move to yt music for a while until spotify and kakao m clear their problem

  • aegyoeobta 🎼P A B O⁷🎼 (@aegyoeobta) reported

    so a policy issue? feels like once the domestic catalogue is negotiated, spotify & kakaom will renew the global contract too. maybe bcz spotify launched SK w/o a catalogue,expiration of global contract was near & acc to policy both contracts must be proceeded w/ at the same time.

  • sashamarz sashamarz ♥ (@sashamarz) reported

    *UPDATE* Kakao has released a statement, claiming their pre-existing negotiations with Spotify are ongoing for use of the domestic service (Spotify SK), received notice of the expiration of their license on February 28, and requested a renewal of their existing global contract.

  • esokmint metoyou/takemebackto2019 (@esokmint) reported

    **** kakao m. Not that i care so much for spotify but at least their service are free

  • rainraincarrot ran (@rainraincarrot) reported

    Since it will be harder for DKB to reach international audiences at this moment because of the issue with Spotify and Kakao M, let's try harder to stream on sites that helps them increase their social points and brand rep. @DKB_BRAVE #다크비 #DKB

  • mozihosh8 momohosh8 (@mozihosh8) reported

    The one who benefited from this spotify issue is youtube music / apple music. People started to use the app more and even subscribe the premium acc. Both Spotify and Kakao M didn't gain anything except for hate.

  • giselle09835753 giselle (@giselle09835753) reported

    Hi @Spotify I’m trying to cancel my premium account with you due to recent incident with K-POP artists and groups. However, I can’t do so because the website is “down”. So I’m reaching out through Twitter, that I want to immediately delete my account! I need my music please!
