For those who were itching to get an up-close look at K-pop girl group aespa and its spellbinding performances, the quartet's first-ever virtual reality (VR) concert, dubbed LYNK-POP, made their wish come true at a reasonable price. It was screened at Megabox COEX in southern Seoul's Gangnam District from Oct. 25 to Nov. 21, attracting some 8,000 moviegoers.
The hyper-realistic show invited viewers to "Kwangya," a virtual world, and then Karina, Winter, Giselle and Ningning offered an immersive experience, rocking the stage with some of their biggest hits including "Black Mamba" (2020) and "Next Level" (2021), just like they do for their in-person concerts. However, the VR format provided an intimate encounter, allowing the moviegoers to feel like they were the only audience member watching the performances and to observe even the most subtle movements and gestures of the K-pop stars with complete awareness. According to AmazeVR, a California-based VR concert platform that brought the LYNK-POP concert to life, there was a good reason for offering an unprecedented close view of aespa. "Since K-pop fans love close-up shots of their favorite stars, aespa members performed right in front of our cameras when they were filming their performances," AmazeVR's co-founder/co-CEO Steve Lee told The Korea Times in a recent interview at the company's Seoul office in Gangnam District.
