On 21 August, Lil Huddy, TikTok's resident e-boy and singer, joined the fan community site Weverse, a popular Korean web platform primarily used by Korean artists and groups to interact with fans.
Lil Huddy, whose real name is Cole Chase Hudson, is best known for popularizing e-boy fashion and trends on TikTok. He is also a singer-songwriter with four singles from his album "Teenage Heartbreak" in 2021.
Hudson joining Weverse has left many K-pop fans confused. He has previously mentioned his dislike for the popular K-pop group TXT. In a now-deleted tweet, the TikTok star stated his dislike and called the group "pretty boys."
"Am I the only one that doesn't like TXT? I just think they're an overrated group of pretty boys."
With further deliberation, it appears that the above tweet was made by a different Twitter user and not Lil Huddy. It has not been confirmed.
Lil Huddy's Weverse community is set to open on 23 August.
