On the 16th, Lee Moo-jin's agency, Big Planet Made, will inform you about YouTube issues following the transfer of Lee Moo-jin's music content through an official statement. First of all, in order to deliver an accurate answer from the distributor, we apologize for the delay in further guidance."
We also apologize to the fans who might have been waiting, and as of January 1, 2025, the Company has transferred 'Gubo Content (a total of 31 albums, 109 tracks)' which was previously distributed through other companies to YGP following the signing of the 'Content Distribution Agreement' with YGP. "During the process of transferring the content, the art track registered by the existing distributor was terminated according to YouTube's art track service policy and replaced with the newly registered art track by YGP. As a result, there was an inevitable situation in which the number of art track views was initialized (set to'0', and YGP officially explained that this was a measure in accordance with the YouTube service policy", he explained how YouTube views were initialized.
"After confirming the issue, we discussed with the YouTube channel representative to resolve the issue of initializing art track views with YGP and discussed whether to recover views, but we are sorry to report the final answer that it is impossible to recover views due to YouTube's internal policy."
The agency said "We deeply apologize for the fact that this situation has occurred because we have not been able to fully check the problem in advance. This is a problem arising from the lack of preparation procedures for both us and YGP. "We will do our best to continuously check and recover from the errors that remain and possible problems in the future"
Earlier, fans protested by holding a truck protest in front of the agency as Lee Moo-jin's YouTube music views were initialized.
In particular, the initialization of views came as a huge shock to fans when Lee Moo-jin's 'Episode' sound source was about to surpass 100 million views.
In response, Lee Moo-jin's fan association pointed out that the agency has been avoiding responsibility through communication channels such as fan cafes and that there are no practical measures.
