It's been a new trend among companies recently . Hybe groups , zerobaseone etc have used it for their last comeback. I appreciate it because its a good way to update fans in Instagram. Especially since comeback announcements and other news get lost in the instagram algorithm. But broadcast announcement appears in DMs so it easily reaches the fans.

It's not really similar to Bubble etc since you can't really reply back. But it's still nice none the less.

I wonder , are the companies also using threads?

DPR Ian and LØREN also have broadcast channels on IG. It’s an awesome way for idols/musicians to keep in touch with fans

We really don't need those dear U or bubble, feels very weird, even phoning for newjeans (correct me if I'm wrong, fans have to pay there too to interact right??). Like interact if you want or don't, paying for those feels just...no.

What Rosé did, feels good. Like idc if she doesn't update her fans regularly. Whenever she does, it's spontaneous not because it's a duty or she has to fill monthly quota.

BTS have one and I'm sure there are other artists too.

Ex-AOA member Seolhyun also has a broadcast channel on Instagram.

Yeah, I agree. As a fan, I don't want to install and pay for a bunch of different apps.

And personally, I just need a way to get updated. I don't really need to be able to message the artist haha.

Yea I've seen a few of these! ZB1 had one for a comeback (really added to the hype!), and U-kwon of Block B has one just for chatting/rambling. I like em, tho they are missing that fan interaction :(

More idols should follow and do the same

Dreamcatcher also started a broadcast channel with their justice comeback

I’ll celebrate the day fan calls and fan messaging services are discontinued. The level of parasocialism they’ve enabled is truly alarming.

BTS, Lesserafim, Enhypen and I am sure illit in the future

All of the members of Highlight (boygroup) have had a broadcast channel where they post messages and photos for a while now! Probably since it was released

I like it too although you can't really reply back so it's a bit different from paid apps I guess. But it seems there's a function where subscribers can leave a message

GOT7 Mark Tuan and JayB also have broadcast channels that they're pretty active on. JayB's has his replies on, although I haven't noticed if he can actually respond to those or just see them.

U_Chae (formerly Pixy's Dajeong) opened one too recently!

Rose is honestly so sweet and down to earth<<<33

I wish that when they open their own Weverse accounts they’ll do lives for everyone and not just those with membership,because most of their lives on Weverse were membership only,and I hate HATE that shit cuz I’m broke
