It will be a fan-artist interaction hub, much like HYBE‘s Weverse. FANS will replace the community aspect of bubble for JYPnation, but not the paid messaging system.

JYPE is launching ‘FANS’, an upgraded version of JYP Fan’s that will replace Bubble Community.

Main features:

• Send messages to artists

• See artists’ stories

• Check important dates (Birthdays, Schedules, etc.)

• View ‘Membership Only’ content • Participate in public broadcasts

• Communicate with other fans

The open beta service for @Stray_Kids community will be opened on January 13, 2024 at 5PM (KST)

Yet, fans are disappointed in the new app announcement. Not only are netizens tired of downloading yet another app, but they also noticed a significant JYP Entertainment group was excluded from the promotional image.

The artists included in the promotional image were Stray Kids, J.Y. Park, Xdinary Heroes, ITZY, 2PM, NMIXX, NiziU, VCHA, and DAY6. Individual 2PM members, such as Junho (also romanized as Lee Jun Ho), Nichkhun, Wooyoung, and Jun. K also will join reportedly on January 23.

With so many artists advertised, netizens are shocked and confused why TWICE has been omitted, as not even the group’s logo was featured. Considering they are now the senior girl group, it seemed strange.

Yet, ONCEs were notified that TWICE’s Bubble Community would be transferred to the FANS app. So, the group has been confirmed as a featured artist.

So #JYPNation has announced on that the community in Bubble will be transferred to the NEW JYPNation [ ] Fans App #FANS #팬즈 @jypnation #TWICE #트와이스 @JYPETWICE

Actually, it was only in the main image shared by the FANS OFFICIAL social media accounts that excluded TWICE. In further promotional images, TWICE is one of the featured groups utilized to highlight the upcoming app’s features.
