The group ENHYPEN's first-ever VR concert, 'ENHYPEN VR Concert: Immersion,' is set to premiere globally on August 8, offering fans around the world a new way to connect.
'ENHYPEN VR Concert: Immersion' begins with a mystical invitation from ENHYPEN to their fans, known as ENGENE. As whispers of the members echo through unfamiliar corridors, the boundaries between reality and fantasy blur. Audiences will find themselves in constantly changing environments - from vast offices to abandoned factories, and rooftops where pink and red moons coexist - encountering ENHYPEN in ways they've never seen before. Moreover, fans will experience the group's visuals and performances from a 0cm distance, more vividly than in real life.
This VR concert is produced with the cutting-edge technology of AMAZE. It introduces innovative interactions, such as heart effects appearing on the screen when the audience forms a heart with their hands, and branch-type scenes that allow viewers to watch from the perspective of their favorite member among the seven, adding elements of experience that offer a level of immersion not seen in previous VR concerts.
The 'Immersion' VR concert, confirmed for release in about 40 major cities including Korea, the United States, Japan, China, Southeast Asia, and Europe, marks the first VR concert project to be announced simultaneously worldwide. With this, ENHYPEN reaffirms their status as global artists. This project, spanning from North and Central America to Europe, not only proves ENHYPEN's explosive global popularity but also highlights the expanding distribution network and technological prowess of AMAZE, making it a significant achievement.
The official poster released along with the premiere date captures the intense visuals of ENHYPEN, seemingly waiting for the audience at the end of immersion. The teaser video, showcasing their overwhelming presence in a space where reality and fantasy intersect, has heightened global fans' anticipation by hinting at the new possibilities of VR concerts.
'ENHYPEN VR Concert: Immersion' offers an unprecedented level of immersion and emotion, surpassing traditional VR concerts with its ultra-high-definition 12K live-action filming, Unreal Engine-based VFX, and AI super-resolution, all powered by AMAZE's proprietary technology. Audiences will feel as though they are facing a real stage, fully experiencing the performances and emotional depth of ENHYPEN.
Meanwhile, 'ENHYPEN VR Concert: Immersion' will open its first round of ticket sales on the 18th and will exclusively premiere at the Megabox COEX branch starting August 8.
