Why is there so much overreaction over this topic??
People assuming the older vlives will be deleted, now that you have t pay to watch them??
Look, it really seems these kpop fans do not even know how weverse is like. You can enjoy all the content for free, you want to talk with your fave, it's free. The only for pay part is the membership, which is just some extra photos or videos, you can just get them for the others who have membership. With the video content too. The only payed contents are Seasonal series that they do on the side, for example for BTS it was Bon voyage, In the soop and the documentaries. They still do RUN which is for free.
What i think it's really nice with bighit is that they know how to give the fandom both free and payed content. They only do payed content if it's a series where they need to pay the staff accomodation and so. They won't charge you to watch you fave go live. Heck, BTS went live on youtube where they showed the process of making the album, it was for free and it had eng subs in a day or so.
