Idk who else to tag. Not like we didn't see this coming, but I do wonder if all of the content will transfer.
That app was such a disaster, though.​

I hope everything transfers, I was gonna subscribe when I had time to binge just so I could watch all the WJSN, Monsta X and The Boyz content (until suddenly The Boyz contract ended)

Interesting... hope the content transfers.

I can't believe they used it for Kingdom for voting, I didn't vote, I paid much more attention to RTK, promoting The Boyz like crazy

The content better transfer, Universe has made some of the most entertaining variety shows for Ateez

Sooo... I guess youtube wins the kpop live contest.

Hopefully it does, if not, we're gonna have to count on fans to try to pull everything before it fully shuts down like they did with VLive. I'm so annoyed by this, that app was stupid from the jump but they forced it on us with all the exclusive content that is now at risk of just ceasing to exist.

I wonder if they will ever understand that you can't just have an app, you need the content available so it can be watched via computer and TV.

 

[Nvthye]

Yesss

Probably not. They want to monopolize the content so you absolutely have to use and buy into the apps.

Unless Bubble is cooking up some kind of major update, they don't have a media player (at least the SM Bubble doesn't) so unless Universe uploads the variety stuff to their Youtube channel it will probably be gone.

I'm happy to buy in but only if I can watch it on TV or Computer. I'm not a fan of watching stuff on phones and tablets. I need a keyboard and mouse!

I'm with you! My vision is garbage, I want to be able to see what is going on.

Can they at least upload their shit on YouTube or a proper website.
Hopefully the mbb universe account I used to follow still archives everything. I have four months of content to catch up on.

 

[velvet]

Honestly I never used universe for shit, and the releases that came out of the app were mostly shit so yeah good riddance

 

[Dimitri]

Are they closing down because of the company's performance itself, or because of Bubble; just like how VLive was absorbed by Weverse?

 

[kimsguardian]

well it's goodbye then. always remember their first artist ever

 

[Yerichu]

I hope their content can still be seen somewhere

They're closing down because NCSoft (whose main expertise is gaming) couldn't find a buyer, and the app itself was a poorly planned disaster. Last I had heard before this is that they were trying to sell to Starship Entertainment. Here is an article that sums it up, but basically it was hemorrhaging money.
