WebsiteInstagramGenie receives new releases through approved distributors who submit audio masters, artwork, and metadata in formats aligned with the platform’s technical requirements. After processing, tracks become available to listeners across Genie’s mobile, web, and telecom-integrated apps.
Genie requires accurate metadata: including Korean-language titles when applicable, artist names, composer and lyricist details, and genre classifications. Distributors ensure all metadata follows South Korean formatting and localization guidelines.
Genie highlights new releases through personalized recommendations, genre charts, curated playlists, and telecom-driven promotional placements. Tracks with strong listener engagement often receive additional visibility within trending and editorial sections.
Genie does not offer an international-facing artist dashboard, but distributors typically provide performance insights such as play counts, playlist placements, and regional listener activity based on Genie’s reporting.
Royalty pay-outs are based on listener activity, subscription-tier performance, and Genie’s licensing agreements with rights holders. Earnings are sent to distributors according to Genie’s reporting schedule, and artists receive payments through their distribution partner.
