Online game developer NC Soft’s K-pop fan community platform Universe is garnering attention with its exclusivity and communicative functions, the company said Thursday.

Launched in January, Universe is currently functioning as a global K-pop fandom platform where fans can watch original content starring their favorite artists and communicate directly with them.

Universe provides a variety of exclusive features such as web entertainment shows, music videos and audio for its users. As of February, a total of 6,288 original pieces were produced, the company said.

Universe is also consistently holding exclusive fan meetings and showcases. One of them included the 2022 UNI-KON event, held from July 2 to 3, which recorded 3.8 million views in total.

Universe’s private message function is also gaining popularity.

With its one-on-one chatting function, the application allows fans to communicate directly with artists. The messages sent by artists are translated into various languages such as English, Japanese, Vietnamese and Indonesian, making it convenient for overseas users.

The new version of Universe has been receiving favorable reviews from its users for its significant improvement in usability.

“We will continue to introduce new functions and content, such as web versions of Universe and livestreams, to boost the quality of user experience,” said an official from NC Soft.
