[Dispatch=Lee Myung-ju Reporter] Melon has partnered with China's Tencent Music and Japan's LINE MUSIC. Recently, it launched the 'Global K-Chart'.
The 'Global K-Chart' is a chart that shows the global influence of K-pop artists. It scores based on usage from Melon, Tencent Music, and LINE MUSIC.
Unlike existing charts that focused on music streaming, it is characterized by also reflecting fandom activity indicators. It is simultaneously updated across all three platforms.
Artists sent congratulations on the launch of the Korea-China-Japan chart. LE SSERAFIM said, "The Global K-Chart has opened. We ask for your interest."
NMIXX said, "It is a chart where you can check the global popularity rankings of K-pop artists," and added, "Please check it on Melon right now. Thank you."
Melon stated, "The Global K-Chart is the first case of service being opened to global fans who wanted to participate in the chart and marks our entry into the global market."
It continued, "We will establish ourselves as the representative K-pop chart that most accurately reflects global trends together with K-pop fans in Korea, China, and Japan."
