TXT launches their first VR concert 'HYPERFOCUS' with innovative fan experience

AKP STAFF


On July 30, TXT (Tomorrow X Together) held a press conference at Megabox COEX in Gangnam, Seoul, to introduce their first VR concert, 'HYPERFOCUS: TOMORROW X TOGETHER VR CONCERT.'

During the press conference, AmazeVR's CEO Seungjun Lee and Director Hongchan Kim attended and provided insights into the innovative project. The VR concert experience allows fans to feel as if they are right next to the stage by wearing VR headsets in a sound-equipped cinema. Utilizing hyper-realistic 9K+ live-action filming technology, Unreal Engine-based VFX modules, and AI super-resolution, the concert offers a 12K resolution view of the TXT members.



A unique feature of this VR concert is the "guide member selection," where viewers can individually choose which member to join on a journey to find pieces of light. AmazeVR highlighted this as a groundbreaking approach, not seen in previous VR concerts.






Seungjun Lee expressed his excitement about expanding into K-pop after successful VR concerts with U.S. artists, noting the enjoyable experience of working with TXT, who are renowned for their impressive group performances.

Director Hongchan Kim recalled the professionalism of TXT members during the shoot, despite their busy schedules preparing for tours and a new album. He praised their ability to maintain high energy levels throughout the long filming process, demonstrating their dedication and skill.

The VR concert includes spectacular performances of songs like 'Deja Vu,' 'Good Boy Gone Bad,' and 'Sugar Rush Ride,' showcasing the group's impressive visuals and choreography. Kim highlighted specific scenes such as Beomgyu burning a rose and Yeonjun's powerful kick in 'Deja Vu,' which required meticulous preparation and execution.


Although the members were not present at the press conference, they shared their thoughts on the VR concert through a recorded message. Hueningkai, Soobin, Beomgyu, Taehyun, and Yeonjun all expressed their excitement about the new format and their close connection with fans, known as MOA.



TXT's VR concert 'HYPERFOCUS' will exclusively premiere at Megabox COEX on July 31 and will later be shown in five U.S. cities, including Los Angeles, Buena Park, Houston, Chicago, and New York. Plans are also underway for distribution in other countries.

This project marks TXT's continued musical growth and their willingness to embrace new challenges, further cementing their bond with fans globally.
