Weverse is a web platform that hosts multimedia content and fan communities. Fans can create fan posts to share with their favorite music artists and other fans around the world while viewing official content. Artists post daily moments from their lives onto the platform and can interact with fans through a timeline of real-time fan posts. Exclusive content is available for fans who buy memberships.[1]
History
Weverse officially opened its fan communities on June 10th, 2019[2]. Initially, the app was not available on iOS. The app opened with only two fan communities for the K-pop groups BTS and TXT because the Weverse Company was created by their company BigHit Entertainment to create an alternative to Fancafes. Fancafes were typically paid forums and message boards that K-pop fans can use to interact with their favorite idols. They usually have quizzes one must score high in to join, offering a more exclusive fan interaction experience compared to public social media accounts. These platforms are also only available in Korean.

Hashtags
Trending hashtags can be found by clicking on the magnifying glass icon on the bottom of the phone screen. These hashtags are typically controlled by the Weverse staff and do not change through mass spamming or other attempts to influence post numbers with a hashtag by fans.
