Reach listeners in South Korea
Genie Music is one of South Korea's established digital music services and an important part of the country's local streaming ecosystem.
For Korean artists and international artists targeting South Korea, releasing on Genie expands your presence beyond global services such as Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube Music and makes your catalogue available to listeners using local Korean platforms.
Get discovered through Genie charts
Charts are a prominent part of music discovery on Genie.
Listeners can explore the Genie Chart, alongside daily and genre-specific rankings covering Korean music, pop, OSTs, trot, J-pop, jazz, classical, EDM, and other genres.
For artists targeting Korea, chart visibility can introduce music to listeners actively following what's popular in the local market.
Reach listeners through personalised recommendations
Genie offers personalised music recommendations based on individual listening behaviour and preferences.
Its For You experience recommends songs, albums, playlists, and music videos, while related-song recommendations help listeners move from music they already enjoy to similar tracks and artists.
This gives your music additional opportunities to reach listeners beyond direct searches.
Get discovered through radio-style listening
Genie also offers personalised radio-style music channels.
Listeners can discover music through channels based on their listening history, moods and situations, genres, and favourite artists. Users can even create mixes based on multiple artists they enjoy.
For artists, this creates another discovery route where listeners can encounter your music based on their existing tastes.
Be part of Korea's wider digital music ecosystem
Genie combines streaming with music videos, real-time lyrics, charts, playlists, recommendations, and digital music downloads.
For international artists entering South Korea, making your catalogue available on Genie helps build a more complete local presence alongside other Korean platforms such as Melon and FLO.

Frequently
Asked Questions
How do I get my music on Genie Music?
Artists generally distribute official music releases to Genie Music through labels or music distributors. Euphoria can deliver your music to Genie alongside hundreds of other digital music platforms and manage the distribution process on your behalf.
Can I upload my music directly to Genie Music?
Official commercial releases on Genie Music are generally supplied through labels and music distributors rather than through an open self-upload system for independent artists. Euphoria can deliver eligible releases directly to Genie Music as part of your wider distribution.
Can international artists release music on Genie Music?
Yes. Genie carries both Korean and international music. International artists can distribute eligible releases to Genie Music through a music distributor such as Euphoria, making it an important addition for artists looking to develop an audience in South Korea.
Can I choose my Genie Music release date?
Yes. When distributing through Euphoria, you can schedule your release for a future date. We recommend submitting your music well in advance, particularly if you want your Genie release to go live alongside Spotify, Apple Music, Melon, and other platforms.
Can my music appear on the Genie Chart?
Music available on Genie may be eligible for its charts, but distribution does not guarantee chart placement. Genie operates overall and genre-specific charts based on its own ranking methodology and listening data. Neither Euphoria nor a distributor can guarantee a particular chart position.
Why can't I find my music on Genie Music?
If your release has been delivered but is not appearing on Genie, it may still be processing or there may be an issue with metadata, artist mapping, rights, or delivery status. Korean DSPs can process releases separately from global platforms, so a release may appear on Spotify or Apple Music before it becomes available on Genie. If your music was distributed through Euphoria, our team can check the delivery status and help investigate the issue.
Can I update my release after it goes live on Genie Music?
Supported metadata and release updates can generally be submitted through your distributor. If your music was distributed through Euphoria, our team can help submit eligible changes to Genie Music. Some changes may require additional review or may not be supported after release.
Does Genie Music pay music royalties? How much?
Yes. Eligible streams and other music usage on Genie Music generate royalties for music rights holders according to the applicable Korean licensing and payment arrangements. Genie Music does not publish a single fixed amount paid for every stream, and actual earnings can vary depending on the type of usage, subscription plan, and applicable licensing agreement. If your music is distributed through Euphoria, eligible Genie Music revenue will be included in your regular royalty reports and payouts.
