IMPORTANT: #KeepKpopOnYouTube

Ok so guys.......WTF??? I just heard news about kpop videos being removed from YouTube in the U.S. ....... WHAT???

I didn't believe this. But I've checked for myself and OMG WHAT THE ACTUAL JUST HAPPENED?!?!?! JTUNE CAMP CONTENT HAS BEEN OFFICIALLY BLOCKED IN THE U.S.!!! WTF YOUTUBE?!?!?! Um, guys......MBLAQ IS UNDER THAT ENTERTAINMENT!!!!! I LOVE MBLAQ! :'''(

It gets worse. America is more likely to be affected by this. Allkpop has officially made a statement about the situation:

" Fans in the United States were devastated to learn that certain companies had blocked availability to the country!

MVs for MBLAQ, Mad Town, INFINITE, Lovelyz, and the Japanese MVs for 2PM and BTS were all made unavailable in the United States for a reason that has yet to be explained. Fans can still watch the ones available on the 1theK channel, but content from J.Tune Camp's official channel, Woollim Entertainment's official channel, and 2PM and BTS' official Japanese channels can no longer be played in the United States.

Hopefully this is just a Youtube glitch and not a conscious effort to remove content for US fans. Stay tuned for more on the situation. "

Okay so one, YOU DO NOT MESS WITH KPOP. OKAY?!?! THAT'S A ING BIG NO. You think saesang fans only existed for kpop groups? HA! Watch YouTube Red gain A TON of them. So basically, its starting from smaller companies, where they are slowly taking away MV's from us kpop fans!!!!! You guys do realize that this can possibly affect bigger entertainment companies?? Yes, our lovely idols that we adore so much may possibly be blocked for our viewable pleasure. T^T Now there are available videos still on YouTube... since I did check Woolim Entertainment's official channel. BUT HOW LONG WILL THAT EVEN LAST??? -_- Apparently YouTube Red is forcing Content Creators to sign a deal about subscription service or their videos/music will be unavailable. In other words, they have to pay about $10.00 per month just to keep their content available FOR US VIEWERS. Yeah, something that once use to be free. =_= How ing low is that? Are they THAT greedy for money? And can I just say, IT IS SO STUPID THAT THEY EVEN BLOCKED COMMENTS FROM A BLOCKED VID!!! Why the comments???

Kpop is my happiness, no scratch that. Kpop IS MY LIFE. It's many of us kpop fans life, pride and happiness!!! SO WHY IS YOUTUBE RED TAKING THAT AWAY??? Do you know how many people use kpop as an escape? I myself look to kpop as an escape from the stresses and troubles reality brings on to me. I'm seriously hoping this will soon be cleared and all the already blocked vids will appear again.

A few hashtags have already been created for this situation and is now trending all over SNS, #KeepKpopOnYouTube and #StopYouTubeRed. Please do spread it around. Because this could perhaps become very serious. If you guys know anything further about the situation, please do not hesitate to inform me about it. I'd really like to learn more about this.

And please guys, before this gets any worse, please help out and participate by signing this petition: https://www.change.org/p/youtube-keep-foreign-music-available-on-youtube?recruiter=96302840&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=copylink

Everyone still doesn't know what exactly is going on, this had just recently happened. But I do hope that this doesn't branch out to other companies. Because this could in actual fact become very serious. This could even affect the kpop community, and it should be our objective to put a stop to this immediately before it really gets out of hand.

What are your guys thoughts about this? Is this bull? Please don't hesitate to comment down below and share your feelings about this because honestly speaking, this is just ing ridiculous.

Ok so Woollim is working again but Jtune, brave ent., and some Japanese channels are still down. Hopefully their channels be up once they sign the agreement. Either way, this whole youtube red thing is just downright stupid.

No it's not a glitch. This is an affect from Youtube's ty new feature, Youtube Red. It features free ads and exclusive teasers, BUT the catch is you have to pay $10 a month for it. You see Youtubers HAVE to pay for this so they could legally take down ads from their videos, otherwise Youtube would have to include the ads but that would be 'unfair' to the people who actually paid it OR Youtube privates the whole thing altogether -_- That's why you've been seeing #StopYoutubeRed.

You can check out Kenny and JRE's vids about it if you want btw. Those who don't want to pay for Youtube Red are like Wooliment. They just don't want to pay for it and for other youtubers it's sorta like playing a role as an activist. It's pretty stupid and what I think is gonna happen a) Youtube becomes the next MySpace bc of this and there's a new site that becomes the Facebook of FREE video streaming, b) This becomes the norm in 5 years or so sorta like ads back in the day or googleplus, c) Youtube realizes that this was a stupid idea alltogether and fires the retarded idiot who proposed this in the first place and the guys who agreed to this bullty thing.
