Music platform FLO is launching “FLO Weekly Pick,” a program in which it selects a singer each week through a fan vote held in partnership with Mnet Plus, CJ ENM’s K-pop content platform, and invites fans to listen to the selected artist’s music together, operator Dreamus Company announced on November 5.

The voting, which began in the first week of November, runs every week from 2 p.m. on Wednesday until midnight on Tuesday of the following week. Users in Korea and abroad vote on Mnet Plus, while FLO selects candidates such as singers who have recently released new music or are celebrating their birthdays.

Within a week after voting ends, the two companies will release a playlist supporting the winning singer on their apps and official social media accounts. The playlist will include support tickets, which users can use to listen to music together on FLO.

“Support” is a service that lets users use support tickets to listen to music by their favorite singers together. In just one month after its launch, the service surpassed 1 million cumulative support plays, with fans of around 130 groups of singers now taking part. FLO recently added “Support Cards,” which show each user’s support history, as well as social media sharing and playlist comment features.

Through December, FLO will place advertisements for the three groups receiving the most support each month at major subway stations in Seoul, including Gangnam, Hongik University, and Express Bus Terminal stations. Monthly rankings will also reflect usage of support tickets awarded through Mnet Plus voting.

Mnet Plus surpassed 50 million cumulative members last month, and its monthly active users (MAU) reached a record 20 million. The platform operates in around 250 regions worldwide, with users abroad accounting for about 80% of its total. Through this collaboration, voting by Mnet Plus’s overseas fans will lead to FLO’s “Support” service.

“Voting and ‘Support’ are connected in that both are ways for fans to express how they feel about their favorite artists,” said Sung Jina, head of Dreamus Company’s Traffic Unit. “‘FLO Weekly Pick’ is meaningful because fans’ feelings expressed through voting lead to the experience of listening to music together and supporting the artist in practice.”
