Weverse’s New Joint Livestream Feature Sparks Divided Reactions

The HYBE community platform Weverse is reportedly adding a new feature, but netizens have mixed feelings about it for an unexpected reason.

Currently, Weverse has a feature for its artists to hold live broadcasts via its platform. At this time, it allows viewers, including other artists, to comment during the live broadcast, and the host can view these comments. However, unlike Instagram Live or TikTok Live, another artist cannot join the live broadcast for a joint live broadcast.

Reportedly, Weverse is changing that. According to reports, Weverse announced in a Tokyo press briefing that a joint livestream option is being added to the platform as suggested by ENHYPEN leader Jungwon.

 Listening to the voices of the artists, ENHYPEN’s leader JUNGWON’s request of wanting to do joint livestreams with other artists has been confirmed to happen. The joint livestream feature will translate Korean livestreams into 12 languages, and translate Japanese livestreams into 4 languages in real time. It is scheduled to be released within the first half of this year.

Yet, some criticized both the reports for crediting Jungwon for the idea and Weverse for implementing the feature only after another idol made the recommendation. Many pointed out that BTS‘s V had suggested the same feature since 2022, and he continually made his wish known.

Remember Taehyung said he would ask for a joint live feature on weverse because he wanted to it with Jimin pic.twitter.com/8Twm6hGOGT

Previously, V would even switch to Instagram Live since Weverse lacked the option for him to go live with his members. ARMYs emphasized they weren’t criticizing Jungwon but the reports and Weverse.

no hate to jungwon at all but this has me crying because taehyung literally proposed this back in february 2023 and they really said “yeah no we can’t let him be right on something” 😭 https://t.co/RmW3A9FibB

Taehyung asked this LONG LONG time ago just bc of this He went to insta for joint live with jk bc it wasn’t available on Weverse.
But this company never fails to prove this line correct “Regardless of the relationship with the agency”. They could have said Yes to Tae. https://t.co/AhnLVIVcUJ pic.twitter.com/PDzzG6rm3k

It’s not just V who looked for alternatives to do joint live broadcasts until Weverse implemented the feature. TXT‘s Soobin and SEVENTEEN‘s Seungkwan held a live broadcast together from the HYBE building.

before joint weverse live we had this🥹 https://t.co/ZwgyjsRMfP

this account has terrible clickbait tweets— so many idols have asked for this since weverse lives became a thing like do we not remember soobin and seungkwan doing two joint lives? pic.twitter.com/qTzzr7HTaY

ENGENEs jumped to Jungwon’s defense. They resurfaced all the times he talked about wanting a group communication feature on Weverse Live.

Back in February 14th Weverse voice live, Jungwon said that he wanted to have group communication function for all members and ability to talk together by giving ENGENE microphone permission.

They added that Jungwon went the extra mile, too. He didn’t just talk about it to his fans during a live broadcast. Jungwon reportedly made a formal request directly to Weverse.

Regardless of who originated the idea, a joint livestream feature is an excellent addition to Weverse that every group can benefit from.
