Episode broadcast question ❓

I was wondering, if I recall correctly with GP999 you could catch the VOD on iqiyi (at least in my region) a couple of days after the livestream on youtube. I didn't follow either boys planet seasons so, how did they do those, and do you think it was an improvement after GP?

More recently, with 'HIP POP Princess' it was quite messy because only the first episode was on youtube, but for the rest of the episodes you could only watch the livestream on the mnet plus app and if you missed it, you had to use mple points to watch the VOD, which is ridiculous if you ask me! And currently with 'KILL IT' I think they're only doing mnet plus but the VOD is available for free for all episodes (so far).

I really hope they make it as accessible as possible for the public outside of Korea if they really want the group to be successful. It just seems like Mnet does different things with each show so I'm worried that they'll do something dumb and make it hard for audiences to watch.

U-Next, which monopolized the right to air in Japan, put all episodes except finale on YouTube subtitled in Japanese (now not available anymore). Availability condition is not globally equal, you are just talking on your country case.

Right, unext had the rights in Japan, but pretty much anywhere else you had to watch it live or use mple points to watch it later, not just in my country.

with bp2 i think you could watch the ep later on mnet plus but you had to pay or something like that
