Hello!
I'm writing this at the end of October 2022. In January 2022, HYBE and Naver announced a merger, in which HYBE's subsidiary beNX (later renamed WEVERSE COMPANY Inc.) would acquire Naver's live video streaming service V Live.
As many of us suspected, Naver recently announced that V Live services would be terminated by December 31, 2022. This includes, to the best of my knowledge, the archives of past vlives of all groups who use that service. There may be exceptions for groups who can work out a deal with WEVERSE to transfer their content, but most of the details remain unclear. (If anyone can provide some sources that clarify this, I will update this paragraph!)
Project Summary
Given the above, I've seen a lot of projects that are archiving individual groups' vlive content, but not any place where fans of multiple groups can find links to these projects. This post is an attempt to start an archive of that nature.
Given also that there's still a little over a month before vlive is completely terminated, I hope that this post might let people interested in archiving smaller groups know whose content has already been uploaded, and where to focus their efforts.
