Both groups will be starting their in-app activities to connect with their fans through the "Private Message" and "Fan Network Service," which are the main communication platforms within the UNIVERSE app - allowing both idols and fans to interact with each other and host exclusive events. Within the platform, each K-pop group has its own PLANET, which groups can share with their respective fanbases. Brave Girls is set to open its Private Messaging function by July.
Aside from performances and activities in-app, the NCSoft and Klap platform also has its original song series, UNIVERSE MUSIC, and its web series platform featuring various K-pop artists through the UNIVERSE Original.
Additionally, UNIVERSE has launched a variety of events to celebrate the two new groups joining the platform. NCSoft and Klap also announced that when the groups begin shooting their original and exclusive content, the app developers will be sending coffee trucks as a show of support. The banners that will be displayed in these coffee trucks will be determined from a Fan Network Service event, with fans participating in the event receiving exclusive Polaroid pictures of the artists.
About Brave Girls
The South Korean girl group under Brave Entertainment first made its debut with the single album "The Difference," released on April 7, 2011. The album was led by the single "Do You Know?" After a number of lineup changes, the group is currently made up of members Minyoung, Yujeong, Eunji, and Yuna.
Brave Girls has found a rapid resurgence in popularity after the music video for their 2017 carrier single "Rollin'" suddenly became viral on video streaming platform YouTube four years after its release. It gave the girl group unprecedented success, rising to the top of singles charts in Korea, Gaon Digital Charts and Billboard K-pop Hot 100. The sleeper hit also gave the girl group a string of music show wins across March 2021 - SBS' "Inkigayo," SBS MTV's "The Show," MBC M's "Show Champion," Mnet's "M Countdown," and KBS' "Music Bank."
About DRIPPIN
The South Korean rookie group under Woollim Entertainment just made their debut last October 28 with the EP "Boyager."

They have also released their debut reality show, "We Are Drippin," on the Seezn network last September, showing the members prior to their official debut.
