NAVER VIBE was a music streaming service run by NAVER, known for its daily mixtape recommendations, party rooms and karaoke. It was also known for its "naedon-naedeut" (my money goes to what I listen to) payout method, where the money you pay goes to the artists you actually listened to. NAVER is winding down VIBE and shifting to include Spotify Premium Basic in the NAVER Plus membership (₩4,900) (outside report).
