The new version of the private room to sing bar administrators can independently make rules and play, such as the definition of song theme, singing, time and so on. And be sure to sing. There will be no charge on the core functions, only charges on value-added services, such as "Send Flowers, lollipop" and other buying behavior due to social demand.
"Before the song is just the KTV system moved up, but not the traditional KTV interactive form to move up, the new version of the private room K song function has increased the interaction between people, this is a big bright spot today." Later on the basis of private rooms will also be improved, the function will be more powerful, have a better play. Chen said.

Sing it. At the beginning of the line will face competition, such as the love of innovation workshop investment singing, millet rice bar, YY Micro singing, renren everyone love to sing, China moved the microphone love singing and so on. Chen from the competitor's point of view, "I will use some way to beat the singing, I would like to use some of the more wonderful strokes, priority to do revolutionary functions, and then change the existing product features." ”
