"bubble" is a fan communication platform where artists from Korea and around the world participate.

It has gained global support through a two-way communication experience where artists' "current feelings" are directly delivered, and fans can reply.

It is highly praised for being a safe space where only their fans gather for artists, and a closed environment where messages are not seen by others for fans, allowing both parties to enjoy naturally.

"bubble for JAPAN," which launched in June 2024, is currently used by a wide range of genres, including music artists such as Mrs. GREEN APPLE, Subaru Shibutani, Novelbright, and MIYAVI, idols like SKE48, and talents/models/voice actors/YouTubers such as Nako Yabuki, Nicole Fujita, and Kasu.

Furthermore, it offers functions optimized for the Japanese market, such as member discounts through ID linkage with fan clubs operated by the M-Up Holdings Group, including Fanplus, support for various web payments, and event ticket sales linked with "Ticketpla" and "TicketplaTrade" provided by group company Ticketplus as a bubble subscriber-exclusive project, providing a convenient experience for Japanese entertainment fans.
