Honestly a long time coming as I always found it a bit odd how many charts Korea had despite some not having much relevance. Also hard not to see this as a continued effort to crackdown on manipulation, as trying to claim the least popular charts seemed to be a road to mediaplaying as a #1 song or whatever.
Doesn’t matter to me, I only care that it’s easier to wade through now.
