Some Korean Songs unavailable in Spotify Free

South Korea (but I think it is applied to worldwide)

My Question or Issue

Currently, music and albums under license to Kakao Entertainment (Kakao M), Stone Music Entertainment, Genie Music Entertainment, and so on, are unavailable to listen to in the Spotify Free plan, only available for Premium users.

This likely seems to happen because of the monopoly of the companies above, to let listeners only listen to their music on their sites. (Melon, Genie, etc.)

Although artists did not intend to, they are being damaged by companies not allowing listers to discover more artists(IU, IVE, (G)I-DLE, LUCY, and so on) and fall out of fashion.

If you are interested in K-songs, you will probably know that a similar situation happened in 2021, which was also since the monopoly.

In 2024, Kakao and more companies are trying to begin the monopoly again.

I cannot understand Kakao and more companies not providing free users although it would not have that much effect.

I am sure that Spotify should spare no effort to return innocent music to Free users. 

Captures showing that some music is unavailable to Free users:

('Premium에 가입하면 이 ...을(를) 들을 수 있습니다' means 'You can listen to this ... if you join Premium')

A single '에잇' of IU. 

An EP 'I feel' of (G)I-DLE. 

A single 'DEAR.' of LUCY. 

An EP 'New Challenge' of Infinite. 

A single 'Teddy Bear' of STAYC. 

A single 'Hospital Playlist 2 Part.6' of Mido and Falasol. 

A single 'LOVE me' of BE'O. 

An EP 'SEVENTEEN SPECIAL ALBUM 'DIRECTOR'S CUT'' of SEVENTEEN. 

(The second song is available now because it is recently published again in another album.)

This is not all, and more songs are also unavailable.

I sincerely wish and hope Spotify to make these precious songs available.
