Vinyl renaissance in Korea holds steady with diverse music tastes - Korea Economic Daily

Quick Summary:

The company has inherited vinyl production expertise and know-how from the country’s first-generation LP mastering engineers, said Ha Jong-wook, chief executive officer of Machang Music & Pictures.“As we have learned, we keep the groove’s depth deep for the sake of LP’s rich sound,” said Ha, adding that the company has succeeded in lowering LP noise by half from 2017 after finding the optimal sound pressure level and temperature.

There is no official statistics about the country’s LP market in Korea so Yes24’s vinyl sales have been used to gauge the country’s LP market.“People don’t consume LP records like a hot trend anymore but the number of records releases targeting vinyl enthusiasts is on the growth track,” said an official from Yes24.

Even art galleries and audiobook curators also use vinyl to deliver unique sound, according to industry observers.“The LP market is maturing after a surprising resurgence,” said an official in the country’s music album industry.
