BeMyFriends Officially Launches Creator Platform Builder 'BStage' Worldwide

"The True Creator Economy Era Begins Where Anyone Can Become a Platform Owner"

Global fandom business startup BeMyFriends officially launched the bespoke platform builder for creators, ‘b.stage’, announcing that it will lead the true creator economy era where creators plan, design, build, and own not only content but also their platforms. Starting today, anyone worldwide can use b.stage to build their one and only unique platform.

b.stage is a bespoke platform builder developed by BeMyFriends for creators and brands. It provides all the necessary functions and services for creators and brands to express themselves, share content, and communicate with fans, including platform design and branding, content posting and sales, membership, sponsorship, and community. Therefore, creators no longer need to navigate multiple platforms and channels, as they can freely configure and use diverse functions all in one place.

Furthermore, by building a platform with b.stage, creators can fully secure control over all activities and data occurring on the platform itself, including content, interactions, fandom, and revenue models. This is a distinctly different approach from the existing structure where content posting, fan communication, and monetization had to go through established platforms or channels. It perfectly addresses the needs of creators worldwide who choose off-platform strategies to gain visibility and insights into their content and fandom, thereby improving their activities and profitability.

BeMyFriends has embodied its fandom expertise as a ‘fandom enhancement mechanism’ within b.stage. Platforms built with b.stage provide a space where creators can carry out their activities and build special bonds through close interaction with fans. Creators can directly offer content and various services to fans without intermediaries, and fans can watch and support creators directly without any middle steps.

BeMyFriends CEO Suwook Seo said, “BeMyFriends is a passionate fan of creators worldwide. b.stage was born from the desire to add value to the world by enabling more people to share their stories, immerse themselves in creative activities, and sustain them in this era where anyone can become a creator,” adding, “b.stage presents a new paradigm for the creator economy. It will play a vital role as a new growth engine leading the explosive expansion of the creator economy.”

Currently, BeMyFriends offers the basic b.stage plan, ‘Essential’, for free. They plan to continue adding various plans and features while listening to creators’ and brands’ feedback. Supported languages are Korean and English, with more to be added in the future.

b.stage can be utilized in diverse fields including K-pop and entertainment, esports and gaming, content IP, professional services, music and performances, art/animation/webtoons, and more. Various creators and brands such as ‘T1’, ‘Nongshim RedForce’, ‘Who’s the Boss’, and ‘Shell We Golf’ are already participating as beta testers, designing, building, and operating their platforms.

Information about BeMyFriends can be found on the official website, and more detailed information about the b.stage service is available on the b.stage website.
