K-radio

Rank 58 of 58 in South Korea. What that mostly measures is how many people have already found the station through this directory, which is a poor proxy for anything else and an honest one to publish.

K-radio has a zero in the directory's open count. It is the least interesting number on this page and the one most likely to be misread, so it is worth being plain: it measures traffic through radio-browser, not audience.

Korean is the station's language and the country's commonest, one of two South Korea's listing records.

The stream runs at 128 kbps, level with South Korea's median. Bitrate stops being interesting once a station is at the local norm, and the useful question moves on to whether the stream stays up, which no snapshot can answer.

The format here is MP3, against a listing for South Korea overwhelmingly made of AAC. Both play in a browser; the difference shows up in how much quality survives at a given bitrate, where MP3 is the older and more forgiving of the two.

Its audio comes straight from s5.radio.co, an address unique to this entry in South Korea's listing. That is the simplest case there is, and it is the one where pressing play tells you the whole truth about whether the station is on air.
