An increasing number of K-pop acts have jumped into the metaverse, a shared virtual world where people can interact with others via avatars, creating virtual spaces to build stronger and closer connections with their fans.
Girl group Billlie met their fans on local telecommunication carrier SK Telecom’s metaverse platform ifland last week. The latest event is part of the girl group’s effort to expand its presence in a three-dimensional virtual space.
The seven-member group invites their fans to a virtual world featuring Billlie’s K-pop Guest House Land, where visitors are allowed to experience various types of content, from the group’s pictures and music videos to members’ statues made with holograms.

Kakao Piccoma, a Japanese subsidiary providing a webtoon subscription service, announced last Friday that it started offering services in France, a country that has shown rapid growth in the digital comics market and a great interest in Asian animation.
"We will enable subscriptions for digital comics produced in France and other European countries," said Piccoma Europe CEO Kim Hyung-rae, who joined Kakao Piccoma last September when it established the European subsidiary.

got your tissues ready omona? here's a video summary:
- if he could choose to promote one song again, jr would choose face (😭) because they were students when they promoted it and he would like to wear a school uniform again
- in the background of ren's scene, aron shows the camera the video he's watching, which is one of nu'est's debut stages. he shows ren and they laugh together
- aron, a true millenial, flosses while on standby
- aron's acrostic poem for 'spring, again' is 'everyone? / are you free? / let's go on a spring picnic
- they hadn't heard the remastered songs at time of shooting but minhyun was looking forward most to the songs from 'look'
- minhyun is still cheesy af. everyone feels him up during the group interview
- jr admits to being startled by the confetti

- The Saga Of Yuqi's Too-Cute Nails
- soyeon thinks the killing part is shuhua's 'la la lala' bridge
- yuqi shows off her double jointed/overflexed fingers
