[Asia Economy Reporter Cha Min-young] The popular domestic girl group Billy will meet fans in the metaverse (extended virtual world).

SK Telecom announced that it will hold ‘Ifland The Fan Live,’ where K-pop stars and fans can communicate directly through dedicated lands and avatars of K-pop stars on the metaverse platform ‘Ifland,’ starting at 8 p.m. on the 14th.

SK Telecom invites the promising rookie ‘Billy’ as the first guest for Ifland’s ‘The Fan Live’ this year. Billy is a girl group under Mystic Story that ranked first on the iTunes charts in five global regions, including the United States, in February.

SK Telecom will showcase various contents through Ifland’s ‘The Fan Live,’ including ▲Billy’s K-pop Guest House Land, a virtual K-pop exhibition hall containing Billy’s worldview ▲7 types of Billy’s stage costumes ▲7 types of Billy’s dance choreography motions.

Billy’s K-pop Guest House Land offers a wide space inside, including an entrance, lobby, and attic, where fans can experience various content such as photos of Billy, music videos, and statues of Billy created using volumetric technology-based holograms. Volumetric technology is a technique that uses multiple cameras covering 360 degrees simultaneously to capture objects and create realistic three-dimensional videos.

SK Telecom plans to hold an event for 30 days where visitors who take a certification photo and upload it to their Instagram account story will be entered into a draw to receive signed CDs by Billy and gifticons. Detailed information can be found on Ifland’s official social network service (SNS) channels.

K-pop fans are expected to enjoy metaverse fan meetings in Ifland, including talk show-style fan meetings and a cappella performances. In the future, SK Telecom plans to invite ‘Purple Kiss’ and ‘Wooah’ as guests on Ifland.

Yang Maeng-seok, head of SK Telecom’s Metaverse CO, said, “Through Ifland ‘The Fan Live,’ the public will be able to communicate directly with K-pop artists and enjoy concerts,” adding, “In addition to K-pop, we will enable people to enjoy various popular cultural arts such as musicals, plays, movie viewings, and production presentations on Ifland.”
