The Nation's First Virtual Idol Solo Concert... A New Era of K-Pop Has Begun
Stage and Storytelling Enhanced with Rich Imagination
Exciting Media Art Stimulates Audience Imagination
New Fusion of Media Art and K-POP Performance
AI graphics specialist Pulse9 announced on the 16th that "IITERNITI held the first solo concert by a domestic virtual idol on the 14th and 15th." IITERNITI is the world's first virtual human girl group created with DeepReal AI. The concert took place at the Hyper Hall, the main space of iBex Studio located in Gwangmyeong, Gyeonggi Province.
The media art series 'Chrome Spark,' which opened the performance and established the narrative framework throughout the show, expressed an unfamiliar worldview with fantastic imagery, helping the audience immerse themselves in this new universe. The video, lighting, and sound effects displayed throughout the concert illuminated IITERNITI's stage. Along with existing songs like 'No Filter' and 'Paradise,' IITERNITI's fifth single, released on the 16th, and new tracks from their upcoming full-length album were previewed.
The iBex Studio Hyper Hall, where the concert was held, is an immersive content screening space equipped with the largest (approximately 1350 inches) ultra-large high-resolution (16K) LED screen and a 3D immersive sound system in Korea. Pulse9 CEO Ji-eun Park transformed into IITERNITI member Chorong through a demonstration of the newly updated real-time 'DeepReal LIVE' technology, which converts faces at 44 frames per second, in September. Partnership inquiries from performance-related parties also followed.
