KT Launches 'Real Dance' Service to Learn K-Pop with AI

Released at MWC 2022

[Asia Economy Reporter Cha Min-young] On the 28th, KT unveiled the ‘KT Real Dance’ service at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2022, which allows users to enjoy K-pop dance and learn moves through artificial intelligence (AI).

The KT Real Dance service automatically analyzes how similar the user's dance moves are to the instructor's demonstration using AI. This service is provided as a smartphone application (app), enabling users to easily and conveniently record their dance moves through the smartphone camera and receive analysis results.

In particular, the AI analyzes the user's dance video, highlights the parts most similar to the instructor's moves, and replays incorrect moves for review. It also analyzes and provides information on exercise amounts and calorie consumption by body part according to the dance moves.

At the MWC 2022 exhibition, KT demonstrated the Real Dance Studio by integrating multi-angle cameras with the KT Real Dance service. Users can select the latest K-pop music, dance along with the instructor's demonstration video, receive feedback, and compete in rankings with other users.

KT plans to commercialize KT Real Dance within the first half of this year. Subsequently, it aims to minimize spatial constraints and gradually expand the application areas into an AI immersive service that allows users to enjoy dance and K-pop anytime and anywhere.

Baek Soon-min, head of KT Convergence Technology Institute AI2XL Research Center, said, “We will lead digital transformation (DX) in education and entertainment fields by utilizing KT’s video-based AI technology,” adding, “Based on this, we will continue to play the role of a digital platform company leading changes in the metaverse industry.”
