On July 30, TXT (Tomorrow X Together) attracted a lot of attention by holding their first-ever VR concert, “HYPERFOCUS: TOMORROW X TOGETHER VR CONCERT,” at Megabox COEX in Gangnam, Seoul. The event introduced a groundbreaking way for fans to experience the group’s dynamic performances.
During the press conference, AmazeVR CEO Seungjun Lee and Director Hongchan Kim spoke, revealing that the concert will use ultra-realistic 12K resolution technology, enabled by 9K+ live-action filming, Unreal Engine-based VFX module, and AI Super Resolution. This innovative approach will allow fans to enjoy a concert experience that makes them feel like they are standing right next to the stage.
One of the most exciting features of HYPERFOCUS is “Guide Member Selection.” Viewers can choose to follow a specific member on a unique journey to find the Fragments of Light, adding a personal touch to their VR concert experience. This interactive element is a first for VR concerts and sets a new standard for fan engagement.
Lee Seung-jun was keen to branch out into K-pop given his previous experience collaborating with American artists. He praised TXT’s great performances and how fun it was to work with them. Director Kim Hong-chan echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the group’s professionalism and high energy levels throughout the filming process, despite their hectic schedule.
