On September 29, Kakao Entertainment announced that it will link accounts between the music platform Melon and the fan platform Berryz, which covers K-pop, dramas, variety shows, and sports. Through this integration, music usage history, fan club verification, and concert presales will be connected across the two platforms.

 

This linkage will enable users to access features such as music streaming, news about artists, fan club activities, and concert ticket reservations—which were previously provided separately by each service—using a single account.

Music streaming and download history accumulated on Melon will be automatically transferred to Berryz. When applying for music show attendance or fan events, users will be able to authenticate their Melon usage records for verification, eliminating the need to submit separate printed documents or evidence.

Official fan club verification information on Berryz will be linked with Melon Ticket. This information will be utilized for concert presales available to fan club members. Kakao Entertainment also plans to expand the service so that, through a Melon account, users can view artists' schedules and news registered on Berryz, as well as official merchandise purchase information.

Voting for the new "Global TOP10" category at "MMA2026 (2026 Melon Music Awards)", which will be held at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul on November 14-15, will also take place on the Berryz platform.

Kakao Entertainment stated, "The integration between Melon and Berryz is only the starting point for connecting the various experiences fans have while enjoying K-pop," adding, "We will continue to enhance our services so that fans around the world can conveniently access K-pop and K-culture."
