SEOUL -- New Hope Club, a British pop trio, will join an online fan community platform, which has been operated by the agency of K-pop sensation BTS, in February 2019. The British boy band released a self-titled debut album in February 2020 that peaked at number five on Britain's album charts.

Weverse created by beNX, the software wing of Big Hit, invites fans scattered across small online communities and social media to an integrated platform that allows them to interact with artists, leave comments, gain access to exclusive content and buy albums and apparel. The community platform has been the home of K-pop bands such as BTS, TXT and GFRIEND.

In November, Gracie Abrams, an American singer-songwriter, became the first foreign member to join the fan community platform, followed by American singer-songwriter Alexander 23 and British artist YUNGBLUD.
