Voting, Cheering, and Video Viewing All Available in One Place
Global Fans Gather Continuously as Missions Progress
Dream Academy Community Nears 350,000 Members

"Wherever you are, we will support your dreams!", "It would be great to debut a group made up only of the eliminated contestants!"


As the global girl group project 'The Debut: Dream Academy' passes its halfway point, Weverse is playing a significant role as a space for support and communication between fans worldwide and the participants. On the 9th, when the results of the second mission and an epilogue video featuring the reflections of the four eliminated contestants (Brooklyn, Ilya, Kali, Mei) were released, Weverse was flooded with messages from fans around the world expressing their regrets about the results and offering comfort and encouragement to them.

Dream Academy Fans Gather on 'Weverse'... Subscribers Near 350,000 View original image

HYBE, which is driving this project, announced on the 12th that the number of members in the Dream Academy community on Weverse is approaching 350,000. As the audition fever intensifies, the number of members continues to increase. This figure exceeds the number of subscribers and followers on the five major social channels where Dream Academy is conducted (YouTube, Instagram, X, TikTok, Facebook).


Weverse is considered the top contributor to the success of Dream Academy. It is not only the main voting platform that determines whether participants pass the missions but also gathers all content such as mission performance videos, individual fancams, and behind-the-scenes footage in one place for convenient viewing. It also enables sending fan letters and communication among fans all in one place. When fans see their chosen participants eliminated, they share videos and photos of their performances during the first and second missions on the Weverse community, leaving posts and comments hoping they will continue to challenge themselves without losing their dreams. There is also a noticeable movement of cheering for participants from their own countries or cultural regions, similar to the Olympics or Asian Games.



Meanwhile, Dream Academy will soon enter the third mission. The 'Live Finale,' which will decide the final debut group, will be released on November 18 on the HYBE LABELS YouTube channel and can also be viewed simultaneously on Weverse.
