PLAVE and 10 Other K-POP Artists Join 'bubble for JAPAN' Platform

Fanplus, which operates fan communities for music artists, and Dear U plus, which manages the Japanese business of the global fan communication app 'Dear U bubble', announced the addition of 11 new artists to Japan's 'bubble for JAPAN' platform as a second phase, following the first phase launched on January 29, 2026, which included 14 artists from SM Entertainment. This expansion is realized through the 'bubble relay' technology developed by South Korea's Dear U, enabling Korean artists' content from individual Dear U bubble apps to be seamlessly accessible on 'bubble for JAPAN'. The second phase features popular virtual K-POP idol PLAVE alongside other notable artists including IZ*ONE alumna and solo artist LEE CHAEYEON, and YUMEKI, a professional dancer and choreographer leading the Korean-Japanese dance scene. The artists participating in this expansion represent diverse genres and have active careers on the global stage. Through this expansion, Japanese fans can now communicate with a wider variety of K-POP artists via the 'bubble' platform.
