To ensure this thread won't be closed, you must adhere to several a number of simple rules;
Please use spoilers when quoting a post with pictures and/or videos.
When posting large quantities of media (pictures or videos), please begin spoilering after the first piece. Grouping related videos in the same spoilers & labeling is recommended.
No reposting of old material unless justified
Posting any material with little or no relevent discussion accompanying it
No passion-induced flaming of each other because 'x said y sucked' etc.
Keep the expression hate of music individuals/groups to a minimal level
No 'pagetopping' in any form whatsoever, as it constitutes spam equal to posts similar to 'first'.
No vulgar fan fics or wet dream stories. It is creepy, weird, and it dehumanizes the people who you are here to celebrate/discuss.
Normal posting standards that you find throughout the rest of the site still apply and will be enforced more strictly from here forward (2012/03/11)
Due to the poor nature of this thread in the past, temporary two-day bans will occur more than often if people slip up.
SeoulFM is OK for radio. As for downloading music, Soribada foreigner is pretty good now although I don't think you can download JYP artists' tracks. It's like $10 a month or something, amazing value for 120 DRM-free tracks.
This is the business model that's starving and killing Korean artists.
it's still a better business model than the rampant illegal free DLs of every single korean song
I sincerely apologise for the murder of Korean artists. I will stop subscribing to the only legit eng Kpop site that provides tracks I can play on Android.
(I downloaded about £50 worth of tracks from iTunes but apparently they're not mine. I'm not going to worry about The Man and how he makes money ($80 Millionish for SM last year), he can figure it out.)
Not even American artists make a majority of money from record sales. It's mostly in merch, endorsements, and concerts. Theres lot of things wrong with kpop pay structure, record sale cuts is a comparatively small one.

He had like half a dozen other bans/warnings from this thread about similar posting, so I'm pretty sure the mods just got fed up with him, rather than it being based on the individual post.
bit of noob when it comes to korean music, but i've been loving some of the music the BW streamers have been playing! was hoping if anyone knows where i can download a whole compilation of good kpop songs? as i really wouldn't know what to download individually ><
here are two submissions from the swedish eurovision song contest qualifiers. the former won. i no theyre not k-pop but if not the first one then the latter one could EASILY be. anyone agree with me?
just put some korean in here and there and give him a baseball cap. someone please agree? the rapping, the dancing, the white sneakers...
