is anyone on WeVerse? I just joined. Seems like artists do lives there instead of Insta now or maybe they still use insta. i also follow Kim Seon Ho. I want to do a club even on fandoms & communities

    I am… I also follow Kim Seon-Ho (currently watching Catch the Ghost so I’m getting my daily dose of long-legged dimples). But I killed the app notifications so I never know when something happens!
    Initially, fun story, I started Weverse to force myself to interact with the Korean language without translation. It was tricky, but after much research, I found that Park Jimin’s Weverse and Army-facing use of Korean is super accessible to learners like me.
    First problem here: He’s not remotely active enough for me to progress.
    Second problem: I had to remove Weverse notifications because you can’t just follow Jimin, you get the whole of BTS which I wouldn’t mind if I didn’t receive 12 live notifications a day each day one of them cooks noodles or does his laundry… From a learner’s point of view, it’s great: So much banter and natural way of typing. But it’s a little overwhelming and I don’t have the right language level for it yet. Which brings me back to not knowing when KSH does anything on Weverse.

    By the way, did you get around to watch The Childe? If you haven’t, I strongly recommend it 🙂

      havent watched it yet. yeah especially if there are lives they mostly do in korean and it is good for listening skills. but for now I prefer Youtube bc you can have subtitles and learn more. but on live I have to make more effort to understand.

        Weverse works hard to provide some level of translation. You can get it on lives too, but obviously it can take a few days.

    Me!! I used to be way more ‘active’ though in the past though, I don’t think I’ve opened the app more than a handful of times this year – purely because I’m a fan of way too many artists so I’d keep getting 29384938 notifications throughout the day and eventually turned notifs off and of course the downside of this means I’d miss lives. I’ve ended up watching more Insta lives these days, there’s a few of them that seem to be more active on Insta like NCT, handful of other SM artists, and individual BTS members.

    But yeah Weverse is great for learning conversation Korean too I found! Especially since there’s a few more lives where they’re doing specific things, like playing with lego, cooking, sharing and playing music they like etc. – so the context there helps you pick up on words easier than Insta lives which seem to be more unstructured ‘chats’.

    I’ve found there’s also a fair few groups that seem to do YouTube lives more too recently? Like ATEEZ and SF9 most recently, which is interesting!

      Hwasa had a live on youtube, she speaks very fast though 🙁
      and I just found Lee Soo Hyuk on WeVerse, it would be great if he had a live just for the voice sake I dont even care if I understand anything
