So for the first time in a while I logged into a previous email and I came across one of my older SoundCloud accounts I used to follow different artists and I couldn’t help but think about my question in the title. But as I was going through some of my following list and it appears some haven’t logged in since official promotions or solo debuts and it made me wonder does anyone know the benefits of SoundCloud and why kpop idols/artists choose to release music on the platform? Is it purely because its just another stream of income or a way of achieving true musical freedom for them?
I follow RVN (Solo Artist, Formerly of ONEUS), Taeyong (NCT) and Chenle (NCT), Bang Yongguk, Zelo to The Kingdom’s Mujin among many others as I really enjoy a lot of their style of music.
While I know B.A.P’s Yongguk doesn’t post as often on SNS as it is and I’ll get a notification from him once in a bluemoon it seems, some idols like TXT or post decently frequent covers or special releases/ audio on their platform and it makes me curious, while people like from20 (Solo Artist) and I.M (MONSTA X Member and Solo Artist) truly haven’t posted much since their latest solo releases, but tend to be frequent on other platforms and ‘ditched’ his soundcloud pretty much since after his Horizon mixtape release(I.M for example is active on MX’s B.stage, or on his own while also focused on his own activities) while from20 (as of currently) focuses on his own activities with his company and has appeared to move from his solo youtube channel to his companies for his promotions and posts his music officially on streaming platforms instead.
Trust me I love all these artists, I am not mad once so ever I just can’t help but be curious, is it truly just about choosing a platform that is easier to gain more of a reach/ reach a new audience? is it sometimes forgetting passwords?
