How has Korean Spotify grown since the platform launched two years ago?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>South Korea is a pivotal music market, and when <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/can-i-upload-my-music-to-spotify-yes-and-its-free\/\">Spotify <\/a>arrived in the country <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/spotify-is-now-live-in-south-korea-the-worlds-6th-largest-music-market\/\">in 2021<\/a> there was much fanfare from the company. Spotify is taking stock to see how Korean music has grown at home and abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The huge success of music from <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/upload-music-to-south-korea\/\">South Korea<\/a>, from K-pop to K-hip-hop to K-R&amp;B and beyond, makes it feel as if it\u2019s always been a global phenomenon \u2013 but its still in its early stages. That&#8217;s the view of David Park, <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/why-the-future-of-music-is-looking-so-bright-in-south-korea\/\">Spotify Korea Managing Director<\/a>, who was interviewed as part of the second anniversary celebrations and shed some light on the regional strategy over the past two years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: Beyond K-pop: A Journey Through Music Genres in South Korea [ENGLISH]\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/episode\/6kHkuIo3SdmKP2RxA6BWB5?si=df75a179927d4ed8&#038;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Alongside offering the platform to consumers in South Korea, focus behind the scenes by the company was initially on supporting local artists and labels. This included offering <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/instant-verification-on-spotify-for-artists\/\">Spotify for Artist <\/a>masterclasses, to result in better engagement from Spotify listeners around the world not just in Korea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Promoting <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/what-are-the-most-popular-south-korean-music-apps\/\">South Korean<\/a> artists on Spotify came from promoting specific releases throughout the year, as well as through the usual global music programs \u2013 like <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/discover-spotifys-new-global-radar-hub-for-discovering-new-artists\/\">RADAR<\/a>, EQUAL, Spotify Holiday Singles \u2013 to give emerging local talent a boost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"485\" height=\"991\" src=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/korean-spotify.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-94984 size-full lazyload\"\/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p>Time for some stats. Since launch, Korean artists registering on the <a href=\"http:\/\/artists.spotify.com\">Spotify for Artists<\/a> platform has increased by <strong>75%<\/strong>. Korean artists have also been taking advantage of Spotify promotional tools. The amount of <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/add-spotify-canvas\/\">Spotify Canvas <\/a>uploaded by Korean artists went up by <strong>493%<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The K-pop playlist was rebranded as <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/playlist\/37i9dQZF1DX9tPFwDMOaN1?si=d7dd03e424b540ca\">K-Pop On!

For one thing, there\u2019ll be a shift away to other genres besides K-Pop \u2013 already, the focus has moved to K-Hip-hop, and promoting music from Korean TV shows. Local music festivals meanwhile will generate playlists and exclusive content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>K-Pop continues to be huge and fans continue to live and breathe their favourite artists, helping to promote outside of the fandom. As an extension of this, Korean food and fashion continues to find new fans through the visuals and culture associated with K-Pop genre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, what Spotify <em>won\u2019t <\/em>tell you is that the platform doesn\u2019t come close to being the most popular music streaming service in South Korea. <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/youtube-overtakes-melon-south-korea\/\">A recent survey<\/a> found <a href=\"http:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/how-to-distribute-music-on-melon\/\">Melon <\/a>to be the most popular streaming platform at 32.8%, with <a href=\"http:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/how-do-i-make-money-from-youtube-content-id-or-my-youtube-channel\/\">YouTube <\/a>eating into its subscriber share \u2013 in fact, if you bring <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/free-youtube-music-distribution-2\/\">YouTube Music<\/a> into the equation, YouTube surpasses Melon with 34.6%. Spotify on the other hand, did not rank in the survey. But, as Park noted, it\u2019s still early days for the platform in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-routenote-blog wp-block-embed-routenote-blog\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"CmqeAQIA9Y\"><a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/top-5-most-followed-south-korean-artists-on-spotify\/\">Top 5 most followed K-pop artists on Spotify in 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;Top 5 most followed K-pop artists on Spotify in 2023&#8221; &#8212; RouteNote Blog\" src=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/top-5-most-followed-south-korean-artists-on-spotify\/embed\/#?secret=CmqeAQIA9Y\" data-secret=\"CmqeAQIA9Y\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/routenote.com\">South Korean music artists can upload music for free to Spotify, Melon, YouTube Music and beyond with RouteNote!
