What is Bubble?

Bubble with Stars

Bubble is a paid app, where you can send messages to DKB members. The messages you send are private and only seen by DKB members themselves. The messages DKB members send are public, every user gets the same replies.

You can download Bubble from πŸ”—Play Market or πŸ”—App StoreTo be able to send messages to the member, you need to buy a ticket. You can buy a ticket for one or several members. 1 ticket = 1 member. Here's how you can do it (click on the image to expand):

Bubble has a level up system. First, you’ll be able to send messages containing a maximum of 30 characters. Every subscription anniversary the number of characters will increase. But be careful, if your subscription expires, your "level" will be reset back to day 1, and you will have to start anew. The following anniversaries are currently implemented:β€’ 1-49 days: 30 characters
β€’ 50 days: 50 characters
β€’ 77 days: 77 characters
β€’ 100 days: 100 characters
β€’ 150 days: 150 characters
β€’ 200 days: 200 characters
β€’ 300 days: 300 characters
β€’ 365 days: 365 characters
β€’ 400 days: 400 characters
β€’ 500 days: 500 characters
For every message the member sends to you, you can send a maximum of three replies back.It’s possible to know whether the member has opened their replies inbox. Every message you send has a number β€œ1” beside the message. Once the number disappears, the member has checked their inbox.If you have any questions left, you can check Bubble's πŸ”—Official FAQ

What is Fancafe?

Daum Cafe

Fancafe is a message board, where you can interact with DKB members, check their schedules and important notices from staff, find good quality images, participate in events to get signed albums/polaroids, and apply for support during promotions or birthdays.

You can open πŸ”—Fancafe Website or download an app from πŸ”—Play Market or πŸ”—App StoreFancafe has a level up system. There are 4 levels: a guest, an associate member (μ€€νšŒμ›), a regular member (μ •νšŒμ›) and a BB.Guests are the ones who haven’t joined DKB fancafe. Guests can still open some boards (ex. schedule) and sometimes can read member’s letters (guests won’t be able to read the letters which are restricted to regular members only).Associate members (μ€€νšŒμ›) are the ones who have joined DKB fancafe, but haven’t leveled up. Associate members have more access to boards, but can't read some of the members’ letters which are restricted to regular members only, and cannot write their own letters to members.Regular members (μ •νšŒμ›) are the ones who have leveled up in the fancafe and have full access to its functionality except special content that is only available on the BB level.BBs are the ones who have bought and confirmed the membership during recruitment period. They have an access to a special content on the fancafe and a priority for the events in Korea.

How to join DKB fancafe to level up to any level correctly:β€” Sign up to a Daum cafe service

β€” Open a browser and go to https://mail.daum.net
β€” Login with the Kakao Account you used in the Daum cafe
β€” Create a Daum Email

β€” Open the Daum Cafe app again
β€” Search for DKB fancafe and join
β€” When selecting a nickname, follow fancafe nickname rules:
β€’ Maximum 8 characters in Korean / 12 characters in English (in case of mixing, 1 letter in Korean = 2 English characters).
β€’ Only Korean and English languages are allowed.
β€’ Numbers, special characters (β™₯,β˜…!-) and spaces are prohibited.
β€’ Don't use nicknames that can be confused with members' names and staff members. ex) 닀크비, 이찬, ν™©μ€€μ„œ, GK, DKB룬, 브레이브, brave
β€’ Plain consonants are prohibited. ex) γ„·γ…‹γ…‚, γ…‚γ„Ήγ…‡γ…‚
β€’ Other artists, other fandom-related nicknames are prohibited.
β€’ If you use inappropriate nicknames based on staff's judgment, your application will be declined.
β€’ If you decide to change your nickname after the level up and it doesn't fit the rules, you will be leveled down again.

β€” Change your account settings to be the same as shown below
β€” It is very important to change privacy settings to "manager" and turn on email reception settings because the wrong settings is the most common reason why level up application gets turned down
β€” You may need to logout and login again in the Daum Cafe app, if it doesn't allow you to check email checkboxes even after you've created Daum Mail

β€” If you have bought a membership, you don't need to level up as a regular member. Go to the membership confirmation section
β€” Send an application to become a regular member

β€” If the version on the fancafe is different, questions have been updated

β€” What is my "Daum ID"? Your Daum ID should be the same as your Kakao Account login, e.g. [email protected]. You can check your login information by clicking settings button (gear icon) on the main screen of Daum Cafe app
β€” Nickname should be the one you wrote when you joined fancafe. You can check it in the DKB fancafe menu

β€” It may take weeks for staff to process your application. Please, be patient.
β€” If your application disappears from λ“±μ—…μ‹ μ²­ and you're still μ€€νšŒμ› (you can find your current level under your nickname in the settings), it was moved to 등업리턴.
β€” Manager usually leaves a comment stating what you should fix in your application. Make the corrections and send a new application. You're most likely to get notification in case you were leveled up or your application was "returned".
