[Tutorial] MelOn for Apple iOS

This tutorial will show you how to purchase Super Junior’s title track PLAY through the MelOn app on Apple iOS devices (iPhone/iPad/iTouch). If you don’t have the MelOn App yet, or don’t have a MelOn ID, please see the following tutorials first:

Tutorial for downloading MelOn App to iOS device

Tutorial for creating a MelOn ID

Click through for the full tutorial.

Step 1: Login to your MelOn App

1. Open your MelOn app and click the More Menu grid option in the bottom right.

2. Click the grey button on the right.

3. Click the first option to login to your MelOn account. If you have not created a MelOn ID yet, you can follow our tutorial [here].

4. Enter your personal MelOn ID and password then click the green button to login.

5. Close the popup screen by clicking as shown. Now you have successfully logged in to your MelOn app ^^.

6. This is what your account page looks like now, showing your ID logged in. Let’s go back to the MelOn home page now so we can buy the streaming ticket~

Step 2: Buy the Downloading/Streaming Ticket

1. Let’s go shopping! Click the shopping basket in the top left of the MelOn home page.

2. Click the blue App Store button~

3. There are a few options here. 

Unlimited streaming only.

Download 30 songs + unlimited streaming

Download 50 songs + unlimited streaming

Download 100 songs + unlimited streaming

We choose option [2] because it will let us give Super Junior the maximum number of digital points. Downloading the track gives them points and streaming it also helps them each day to get more points. Option [2] costs around USD $15 (tutorial is from a few years ago, prices are now higher~). You will need to have a credit card or iTunes gift card connected to your iTunes account already in order to buy the ticket.

4. Sign in to your iTunes store account.

5. Confirm your purchase.

6. If you used MelOn to buy a streaming ticket like this before (for MAMACITA, DEVIL, etc.) then you might see this popup. Just click buy ^^.

7. Good job! You have successfully purchased the MelOn ticket.

8. After you buy the downloading & streaming ticket, you will be shown your account purchasing summary. You can see here how many songs you have left to download, and when the ticket for streaming expires. Click the search button on the bottom of the app to go search for the song we want to download!

Step 3: Download & Stream Super Junior’s DEVIL

1. For an example, we will download MAMACITA. First, click on the magnifying glass in the bottom menu of the app. Then, type ‘슈퍼주니어’ into the search bar, as shown. Scroll through the list until you find the album you wish to purchase. For you, it should be PLAY ^^. Click on the album art, not the album title.

2. Now you see the album page. You can go back here to download any songs from the album. Just make sure you focus on the title track so we can give SJ a good digital score. Select the song you want to download, then click the download option that will appear at the bottom.

You can also give the album the heart (it will turn red). You probably know how important the little heart is to the boys ^^ ㅋㅋ

3. After you click to download, it will give you this screen to show you how many downloading credits you are using. Just make sure the song is checked and then click the green button.

[!!!] For some people, a popup might appear asking you to confirm your device. If this happens:

Click the option ‘확인'

Click the green button

Click ‘확인’ on the new popup to confirm

Click the green button as shown in the pic below again.

4. A black popup message will appear at the bottom of the app to show you the download has started. Once the song has finished downloading, you can click the My Music button on the bottom menu to find it.

5. Scroll down to the bottom. You will see the download progress at the very bottom, and you can click the button indicated to find any songs that have already been downloaded to your phone.

6. Click as indicated to see the list of artists you have downloaded.

For some people the song will download directly, but not always. Either way, you have given SJ the digital download points ^^. Now, in order to help them even more, we need to stream the song. So, keep going~

7. Back to the album page, which you can find by clicking the search button again and searching ‘슈퍼주니어’. If you are having trouble, go back to the start of Step 3 and see again how to do this.

Highlight the title track again and this time, click ‘듣기’ to stream the song.

8. Put the song on repeat to keep streaming. Let’s go look at the playlist now to make sure we are streaming properly. Click as shown below~

9. It is really important that we are streaming from the MelOn app (using wifi or data). Sometimes instead it will play the .mp3 file on your phone, which doesn’t give Super Junior any streaming points. To make sure you are streaming the right way, you should see the grey symbol ‘다운’ on the right of the song in the playlist. If the symbol isn’t there, delete the song from the list and go back to point [7] and click the listen button again.

Step 4: How to Logout

1. Let’s start back at the main menu. Click the more menu grid on the bottom right.

2. Click through.

3. Your ID should be in green. Click it to go through.

4. Click the logout button, and you’re done!

5. Your app should now look like the login screen.

Congratulations! You are successfully streaming PLAY to support SJ on the biggest digital chart in South Korea. Try to keep streaming the song for as long as you can (all day & all night if possible). Tell ELF around you to do the same, and let’s work hard this year to give SJ a good result on digital charts. Fighting~

[Tutorial] MelOn for Android

This tutorial will explain how to download & install the MelOn App for Android devices, and how to purchase Super Junior’s PLAY title track for your device.

Even though Android users can install the app, you need the help of someone with an Apple device to help you buy the song. Once someone has helped you buy the song, you can use your Android device to stream it to help SJ on MelOn digital charts.

Important: if you get someone to help you purchase the song, make sure you can trust that person. You will have to give them your MelOn ID, password, and send them the money to buy the songs. There is a lot of competition during this comeback period, so we remind ELF to make sure the person helping you will not take advantage.

Click through for the full tutorial.

Notes: 

Red writings = instructions or translations

Purple circles or boxes = you have to click in that area

Step 1: How to install MelOn app in your Android phone

Download MelOn .apk file here.

Copy and paste that .apk file to your Android phone using cable data or Bluetooth

MelOn app will automatically be installed in your phone

Step 2: How to buy MelOn credits for your Android phone

You can only ask for iPhone users or K-ELF to help you buy the credits. Send them your MelOn ID, password, and the money to buy it. They will log into your ID, load the credits, and logout again.

[!] Be careful in finding the person to help you buy the credits. You will give this person your ID, password and money, so make sure the person is ELF and can be trusted. You can also try finding your local fansites who can help you with this.

Step 3. How to Login and Check Your Credit

1. Once your helper has loaded the credits to your MelOn ID, you’re ready to go!

2. Open your MelOn app from your phone and you’ll see the appearance like in the left picture. You’ll find a Bottom Bar consisting of Melon Home, Artist+, My Music, Search, and More Menu (see red writings). Click on More Menu [1] and you will see the appearance as in the right picture. Click on the purple box [2].

3. Click on the purple box [3]. Type in your MelOn ID [4] and password [5] as shown in the right picture, and then click on the purple box [6].

4. You have successfully logged in if you see the page as shown in the left picture below. Click on More Menu [7] and click again at the purple circle [8] in the right picture.

5. Click on the purple box [9]. Then, you’ll see your credits details as shown inside the red box. 30/30 means your quota is still full for downloading and/or streaming. The red box also shows your credits expiry date.

Step 4: How to Download

1. Click on Search menu [10], and type 슈퍼주니어 in [11] box then click on the purple circle [12]. 

2. You will then see the albums SJ have. For example, we will download “Let’s Dance” song from Mamacita Album. So, scroll down until you find Mamacita album, and click on the album picture [13]. Remember, don’t click on the album title, but click on the album picture. Then, scroll down until you find Let’s Dance, and click on the song title [14].

3. You will now see there are icons above the Bottom Bar. There are Play/Stream, Download, Add to Playlist, and Send Gift (see red box). Click on the Download icon [15], and click on the green button [16].

4. Click on the purple box [17] and the green button [18].

5. Click on the purple box [19] and the green button [20]

6. You’re downloading the song! \o/ You can see the MelOn icon [21] on top of your phone screen that marks your downloading process. If the download process is finished, the icon will be changed to something like [22]. 

7. To make sure you have really purchased/downloaded the song, click on My Music [23] then click on the purple box [24].

8. Click on the purple box [25], then you will see the list of the songs you have purchased (see the red box). If you can’t find the song you have purchased before in that list, it means somehow you failed purchasing it. Try from the start again if this happens.

Step 5: How to Stream

1. How to stream one song only (for example, we will stream Let’s Dance): Do steps 1-3 from Section 4 (How to Download), but instead of click on the Download icon, click on Play/Stream icon instead [26]. The MelOn player will show and click on [27] repeatedly until you see the icon changed into Repeat One [28] mode.

2. How to stream the whole album (for example, we will stream Mamacita album):

► Do steps 4.1 and scroll down until you find Mamacita album, click on the album picture [29]. Remember, don’t click on the album title, but click on the album picture. Then, click on the Play/Stream icon [30].

► Click on [31] repeatedly until you see the icon changed into Repeat [32] mode.

3. How to make sure you are properly streaming and not just playing the song from your phone memory:

► Click on the purple box [33] to see your playlist. If you see the sign as shown in the purple box [34], it means you are streaming properly. If you can’t see this sign, it means you are just playing the song from your phone memory.

► If you can’t see the sign, click and hold on the song title until a pop up [35] shows on your screen. Click [36] to delete that song from the playlist, then click [37]. 

► Then try from the start again.

[!!!] Big rule for streaming: Stream from beginning till the end of the song. If you somehow stop the streaming in the middle of the song, it wouldn’t be counted for chart purpose.

Step 6: How to Logout

1. Click on More Menu [38], then click on the purple circle [39].

2. Click on the purple box [40], and click on the grey button [41]. 

Now you are ready to help Super Junior DEVIL on MelOn! Share with ELF everywhere, let’s put all our effort here as a gift to our wonderful men~

[Tutorial] How to download the MelOn App for Apple iOS

 If you have an Apple device (iPhone/iPad/iTouch) you can directly download the MelOn music app and support Super Junior on Korea’s largest digital music chart.

Click through for the full tutorial.

To begin, you need to change your App Store to South Korea. You will need to have the credit card you use for iTunes, so make sure it is by your side before you start. Let’s do this now~

1. Open up your settings application and click “iTunes & App Store”.

2. Click on your Apple ID.

3. Select “View Apple ID”.

4. Click to change your Country/Region.

6. Now you will need to change some personal information. We don’t have images for this, but follow the steps below:

► Do not change credit card details, but you need to re-enter your 3-digit security code on the back of your card.

► Change the parts of the billing address that turn red. ZIP code → 100-043 || Telephone → 082 1234567 || Province → Seoul || City → Seoul. *If you think you need more info you can google the address of a hotel or something like that in Seoul and just use that as your address.

7. Finally, open the App Store on your phone, search Melon (멜론) and download the app.

8. You now have the MelOn App! Now you can change your App Store region back to your home region following the same steps 1-6.

MelOn is the equivalent of iTunes in Korea, and downloading + streaming from this site counts up to 65% on Korean charts for music show awards, so it is very important.
