It's a normal thing to deal with replacing links. I do it all the time. Channels re-upload videos hours/days later for editing reasons. Or some deal took place months/years later where an artist's MVs must be taken down on one channel and put up elsewhere. I try to stay on top of this as much as possible.
However, with the incoming YouTube Red deals it seems that a handful of major Kpop and Jpop company channels became blocked in many more regions than normal... including for me in the US. Now the blocking is probably a different issue to the actual Red subscription program. But somewhere in the opt-in phase it looks like blocking was a byproduct since it's all happening at the same time.
It's not a huge deal, of course. It's just videos. Many places in the world hit blocks in substantial areas of YouTube and the web. Being from the US... it's not so common an experience for me. It could potentially make it difficult to keep up with new releases and have the most accessible links on KPOPPY.com.
But the important point is that we don't know if this will all right itself or it will expand. Woollim was a big one blocked for me. So no Infinite or NELL or Lovelyz, but all of that material was just un-blocked today.
So, the main point is that I won't be changing out links right away, either here or on the main site. I'm going to wait it out for a week or two to see what comes back or if blocking expands to anything else. For anything that remains blocked, I'll try to find alternative links if possible.
