Ateez and xikers launched TOKTOQ, a mobile fan app dedicated to the boy bands of KQ Entertainment, on Monday.

Developed with bemyfriends, the company known to provide and service fan platform solutions, the service will be KQ Entertainment's own foray into the fan platform business.

The application launched on both the Apple App Store and Google’s Google Play.

Currently, Weverse, developed by HYBE and its subsidiary Weverse Company, is the widely used fan platform service by both artists under and outside HYBE.

TOKTOQ will allow fans of KQ Entertainment's bands to check for the latest news and receive push notifications of newly released content. More exclusive features, including ones tailored to global fan communities, will be released in the coming future, said bemyfriends on Tuesday.
