It’s official: SB19, BINI join fan community platform Weverse

March 14 ------ SB19 and BINI will open their doors to a global audience, becoming the latest artists to join the HYBE-owned superfan platform Weverse and the first Filipino artists to do so.

Weverse welcomed SB19 and BINI into the platform on Thursday, March 12, sharing clips of the P-pop powerhouses inviting their dedicated fans (also known as A’TIN and Blooms) to subscribe. The “Pantropiko” hitmakers will be included in Weverse’s lineup on Monday, March 16, at 11 a.m., Philippine time. Meanwhile, the quintet joins the fan community platform on Thursday, March 19. Prior to joining Weverse, the female octet’s content, including livestreams, official photos and announcements, was available on the BINI global website via a paid subscription model.

In an email sent to subscribers, their management announced that “guidance and support will be provided” for migration guidelines and possible changes in the coming days. “As we prepare your Bloom-azing transfer, we will be providing guidance and support regarding your membership subscription. All existing memberships expiring in May 2026 onwards will retain the same exclusive perks and access on Weverse once the migration of your membership account has been successfully completed,” it said.

What is Weverse?

Owned by HYBE, Weverse is an app that connects fans to their favorite artists. Like most community platforms, it operates through a paid subscription model where those who choose to avail themselves of the site can have closer access to the stars.

Available for translation in 15 languages, the app includes official announcements, heartfelt messages from the artists, a livestream, never-before-seen photos, and a merchandise platform. It also gives fans the chance to get concert tickets earlier, though slots are limited.

Weverse is also home to several concert livestreams, especially for global fans and those who weren’t able to secure tickets. It also aired award ceremonies and shows, including, recently, the 2025 Asia Artist Awards and ACON in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. “We are a fandom business… There are bigger global services offering functions we offer, but Weverse’s users are superfans characterized by passionate engagement,” Weverse president Joon Choi told Reuters in an interview. “There are bigger global services offering functions we offer, but Weverse’s users are superfans characterized by passionate engagement.”
