I personally am on both sides of this situation (is there sides??? i guess it’s more understanding both sides)

disregarding the underdog narrative that was being pushed for a moment, no company wants to stay as a small company, it’s all business and they want to reach higher and towards the top, and that by any means.

I also understand fans concerns from the rest of the thread it says that different companies like SM & JYP may be using their own streaming platforms and that artists not affiliated with weverse, what they would do?

I also do not want to go on three to four different apps to see my favourite groups’s live content, I would personally rather it all in one app

but right now all we can do is wait to see how it plays out just like you said OP, they don’t want to lose their userbase they hopefully (most likely) have something in the works
