LG Uplus to Exclusively Broadcast 'U+ Idol Live' on 28th
AOMG Artists Perform on One Stage
Simultaneous Access on 2 Devices via Mobile, PC, and TV

[Asia Economy Reporter Minyoung Cha] LG Uplus announced on the 4th that it will collaborate with Korea's largest hip-hop label AOMG to present a contactless ‘XR Concert.’ This augmented reality (AR) online performance collaboration between a telecommunications company and a hip-hop label is the first of its kind in Korea.

The two companies will hold the mixed reality (XR) concert ‘AOMG ONLINE CONCERT: Above Ordinary 2021’ on the 28th of this month, and the live performance will be exclusively broadcast on ‘U+IdolLive.’ Tickets will be sold starting from the 5th through the ‘U+IdolLive’ application (app), website, and Interpark.

The biggest feature of this online event is the XR performance enhanced with AR technology on stage. Audience members will be able to enjoy an ultra-realistic performance where AOMG artists such as Simon Dominic appear to move through a virtual world as if in a movie scene. In addition, various other AOMG singers will also take the stage.

This XR concert can be viewed by anyone regardless of their telecommunications provider. The live broadcast allows up to 300 attendees. The concert will take place on the 28th from 7 PM for approximately 120 minutes. Tickets, including real-time viewing passes and a 7-day video-on-demand (VOD) pass, are priced at 38,500 KRW (tax included), and package tickets including 'AOMG x Peaches collaboration merchandise' will also be available for sale.

Purchased tickets allow simultaneous access on up to two devices. Supported devices include mobile phones, PCs, and TVs. On mobile, users can download the U+IdolLive app from the Android and iOS app stores. On PC, viewing is available through the U+IdolLive website, and on IPTV, through U+tv.

Choi Yoonho, Head of XR Business at LG Uplus (Executive Director), said, “This performance is expected to create greater synergy by combining LG Uplus’s content platform operation capabilities with the high-quality performance content of AOMG,” and added, “We hope this contactless immersive concert prepared by both companies will help alleviate fans’ longing for live stages amid social distancing measures.”
