Why are digital songs in S. Korea so cheap?

Probably the platforms they use aren't taking as high % as iTunes do... and since there all the production goes to the Company as one and not x% for singer, y% for producer z% for designer, etc... that makes it cheaper imo

About 11 cents.

 

So the same as the OP stated.

 

Before they were closer to 5 cents.

 

Downloading music in S korea is pretty irrelevant.

 

Music streams are a bigger source of revenue to a company.

 

So a korean version of spotify would make more money than a korean version of itunes?

So much more it'd make korean itunes look like a cripple.

 

Do the consumers get a better deal with the korean spotify than the korean iTunes?

I don't know the logistics or consumer friendliness. I just got numbers on the stream intensity and revenue made off of them

As you can see. for South Korea(And most of the scandanavian countries). Streaming's more important than physical albums and WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY  more important than downloads.

Standard Melon pass is 10 USD for 30 songs so about 0.33 cents per song in USD. 

 

This is why no one should brag about how much $$$ their fav makes from tehir digitals~ 

 

The thing is these passes are only consumer friendly if they take full advantage. Most people are not going to download 30 songs in 30 days.
