[UPDATE] Seventeen confirmed to join 'Weverse' along with BTS, TXT, & GFriend at Big Hit's corporate briefing

AKP STAFF

According to fan accounts on Twitter, Seventeen will be joining Big Hit Entertainment's fan communication platform 'Weverse' next, after BTS, TXT, and GFriend

The rumors were sparked due to an alleged clip from Big Hit Entertainment's annual corporate briefing (below), which recently took place privately as a result of ongoing Novel Coronavirus threats. However, as many of you know, neither Big Hit Entertainment nor Pledis Entertainment have confirmed previous rumors regarding their merger. 

[UPDATE] Big Hit Entertainment has since uploaded a full recap of their 2020 corporate briefing via the agency's official YouTube, where it was confirmed that Seventeen will be the next artists to join 'Weverse'. You can catch footage of Seventeen emerging alongside BTS, TXT, and GFriend below (~ 35:55 mark). 

Are you excited to see Seventeen joining the Big Hit family?

Before people get all pissy about this please be aware that seventeen will still remain under Pledis entertainment. It's just that bighit has probably acquired Pledis like how they did with source music. So in the end all the managing is mainly done by Pledis entertainment. I'm only writing this because I'm seeing a few people literally unstanning seventeen because of this which I think is pathetic because you shouldn't be stanning a group for their company but rather their talent.
