As of April 2018, MelOn has changed their policy to require users to verify their account using a Korean phone number. If your account is not verified, downloads and streams will not count and your account may be locked.
Due to this change in policy, Diadem is no longer able to help provide MelOn subscriptions.
You may use this guide if you have a verified account but please note it is out of date. There may be some different in the updated app.
To buy a MelOn subscription, you will need the MelOn app and an iOS device. Currently, MelOn subscriptions cannot be bought via an Android device but no worries, Diadem will help you purchase one (we can help iPhone users facing issues too!) You will be able to use the app and download songs on an Android without problem though.
Android
If you posses an Android device, you won’t be able to buy a MelOn package but no worries, Diadem is at your service!
Fill out our form to submit your request to purchase a MelOn subscription! To save your subscription days, we suggest buying one closer to T-ara’s comeback, but make sure you have one and it is in working order before the comeback in order to help them chart right away.
After you have received your MelOn subscription, download the app and begin downloading and steaming! (If you can’t download via the app store, search google for ‘MelOn apk’ and you’ll find many other sources.)
iOS
Before we begin, you will need to change your iTunes region to Korea. Follow this quick guide on how to do so. When filling in the address, you only need to change the postal code. Input 110-860 or you may look up any other online.
Later on when making your purchase, you may do so with a debit/credit card or an iTunes Gift Card. If you are going to use a gift card, it must be purchased AFTER you change your region.
Once you’re ready, download the app. Once installed, log into your account (if you don’t have one, learn how to make one here.)
You will be notified you do not posses any subscription. Click the button to proceed to buy one.
Select one of the packages.
Confirm your selection and enter your billing information next. After that, you are ready to go! Simply search for T-ara and begin downloading and streaming their music.
Browse between Music, Albums, Artists, Images and Lyrics. Select the song or album you wish to download and click the download or stream icon. You can as well create playlists.
Before your download starts, you will be asked to register your device. Confirm to carry on.
A tag at the bottom will indicate your download has started. Once it’s complete, you can find and check the downloaded file in 마이뮤직 (My Music) under the 저장한 컨텐츠 (Saved Contents) menu.
PC
You will need to buy a subscription via phone but afterwards you can use the MelOn PC app to download and stream music. Download the PC app here and use it as you do the phone app or website!
Note, the first time you download a song, you will be prompted with the following message:
It notifies only 3 computers are able to be registered per account. Give a name to the computer you are currently using.
