South Korean Music Retailers Dying

Posted by timothy on from the buggywhip-makers-dying-in-streets dept.

terrymaster69 writes "According to this Reuters feature, 95% of South Korean music retail businesses have failed in the last year. 'While South Korea is not alone in seeing a downturn, the drop has been greatly accentuated and particularly deep because of the country's high-speed Internet access and a youth culture that uses some of the most sophisticated gadgets available.' Is this really a problem or just a natural progression?"

    Is this really a problem or just a natural progression?

    Well, much depends on if you are a Korean music retailer or not.
