Weverse: Connect with Artists

Great notifications and communication! I just love how I can stay connected to my favorite Kpop groups. I’m 63 year old and not tech savvy but Weverse has been such blessing. Even though I live far away…..Hawaii, I still are able to view and especially watch “LIVE” my favorite groups. I’m so excited to visit South Korea for the very first time coming up in February 2024. Visiting Korea is one of the items on my bucket list as even for flying first class which I’ll be doing when we leave on my trip. I’m amazed with your culture, food and most of all how this special app like Weverse can bring joy and happiness to people all over the world who has the love for KPOP and celebrities !!! I just wish I could meet one of the groups when I travel to Korea in February in person…..maybe share a meal. Thank you Weverse for your continued hard work and bringing us, the fans great contents and allowing us to stay connected with our groups and celebrities! Happy Holidays!

I was really bummed when I heard the news that Vlive was shutting down, but then I thought to at least give Weverse a chance to show how me what they’ve improved. But there’s nothing. No improvement. In fact, things have gotten much worse! The lives are really hard to find if you’re trying to look for them by a specific date or title, there aren’t any English subtitles, lives randomly disappear, and the setup/ arrangement of the app/ website makes it super confusing to find what you want. On Vlive, everything was super simple and easy to figure out, but Weverse just messed up everything. Like at the very least, please provide subtitles. For all the artists. I’d be happy with just that, but HYBE can’t even do something simple like that. The oblue good thing I see out of all of this is the fact that you can interact with your favorite artists freely, but again, that also has its downsides. There appear to be no fan comment filters, and there are a bunch of stupid “fans” who post hate and inappropriate comments. Honestly, someone should be monitoring the comments, to at the very least, protect the artists. I don’t understand why everything has just gotten so bad. The plan to make Weverse the “new Vlive” has been in the works for a long while, but why is everything so shabby? HYBE, please fix these problems. International fans like myself are having much difficulty with this new system, especially now that it’s much harder to understand our favorite artist’s lives.

To make the move from FanCafe to weverse was an extreme downgrade. 1. The app/website is not made to handle high traffic. As soon as one of the members post, everybody opens the app and translations don’t even become available because everyone is using it. It also often crashes out of nowhere and autocorrect is not allowed... consequently, I make a lot of typos. This is probably a personal problem but it’s still bothersome. 2. (The most important) There is no form to protect the artist. Everyone has access to it and can post pretty much anything. Moderation of posts non-existent. I think it would be smart to implement a level up mechanism like in FanCafe where only a few can be approved to post at all. I honestly don’t care if I can no longer post as long as the artists are not constantly being harassed, defamed, and bossed around to their face by teenagers who think they owe them something... when in reality they probably don’t even purchase any merchandise and claim have been in the fandom for 10 years when they don’t even know the full names of the artists. They probably call them oppas too. 3. You can only report a small amount of posts before your own account gets temporality suspended, and it’s quite unfortunate because the app is full of idiots. Oh! But they allow to post spam! Ironic. I swear Amino has more control over its users than Weverse. 4. Costumer service does not exist. At least not the shop.
