近日有Spotify用戶發現，當踏入2021年3月1日後，Spotify上大量Kpop遭下架，原本聽開嘅playlist直接無咗一半歌。如果你都係用開Spotify聽Kpop，建議大家一陣Check下自己聽開嘅playlist仲有幾多歌剩。據Spotify聲明表示，由於未能與韓國唱片公司Kakao M續約，所以從3月1日起下架所有Kakao M旗下歌曲，當中涉及多首人氣作品，知名藝人IU、泫雅及Hwasa等均受影響。

⚠️ All songs distributed by Kakao M on Korea have reportedly been REMOVED from Spotify.

根據外媒NME報導，瑞典串流音樂平台Spotify於今年2月進軍韓國市場後，同唱片公司Kakao M發生版權糾紛。報導分析認為由於Kakao M母公司擁有全韓最大音樂平台之一Melon，為咗壟斷市場或減少競爭所以搞到今時今日嘅局面。

Apparently a disagreement between our distributor Kakao M & Spotify has made our new album Epik High Is Here unavailable globally against our will. Regardless of who is at fault, why is it always the artists and the fans that suffer when businesses place greed over art?

韓國嘻哈團體Epik High就喺Twitter表示，點解企業嘅貪婪，最終受苦係藝人同粉絲。
