I recommend BAP’s Bang Yongguk, an idol who summarizes social news to fans on a daily basis… it’s like paying 5,000 KRW for a newspaper subscription.
Bang Yongguk is known for leaving long messages regarding news to fans. However, he found himself in a dilemma because he wasn’t sure if this was considered unauthorized sharing.
“As I read the news, I bring things here that I want to share, but can I share them or is it considered unauthorized sharing because it’s a news story?
Ah, so I should leave the source of the publishing house and the name of the journalist?
But since this Fromm app is a profitable platform, maybe I can’t?
Oh but it’s okay if I share the link to the news? Oh no, then it means you have to read the whole article.”
“I wanted to summarize the news in a short story…ah, that’s difficult. I guess since you pay for this app, sharing the news link could be seen as a commercial use.
Oh, so you’re saying that it’s okay if I write a completely new summary of the news I read and leave the source, then that’s okay.”
Below are some examples of the news summaries he sent to fans.
Seeing how long these messages were, Internet users understood why fans felt like they were subscribed to a newspaper.
In some of his news summaries, he left a short personal comment at the end.
Korean internet users were intrigued by her unique way of using the app and many wanted to subscribe to her messages!
- “He’s a smart guy, really nice.”
- “He came on the app 10 times in August, and three of those times were for newsletters. He also sent selfies. He does what he’s supposed to do while sending out the news.”
- “Wow, I want to subscribe to him. His summaries are written in a way that is easy to read.”
- “He’s good! I want to subscribe to him too.”
- “It’s actually informative. Sign up for the newsletter lol.”
- “It’s informative!”
- “Wow. I’ve never seen anyone use the fan community app like this before. It feels like my field of work’s group chat sharing news.”
- “Really funny.”
- “Wow, do I really want to subscribe to this?”
- “It’s really cute how he adds a little bit of his own commentary at the end.”
- “lololololol. Oh, this is so beautiful?”
- “Is it really that good? It makes me want to sign up for him.”
- “lolololol it’s informative.”
- “Wow, I want to sign up.”
- “Wow, so informative. It’s easy to read because you’ve summarized it well.”
- “Wow, this is like a real newsletter.”
- “His comment at the end is so cute.”
What do you think of an idol who uses the app to share daily news? Would you subscribe to him?
