The stadium as a unit
Incheon Munhak Stadium's main arena has hosted names like Park Hyo-shin, BTS's Jin and NCT. It is the main arena rather than the baseball stadium, so the scale is large.
This is the first time a virtual idol group has stood in a space of this size — a team with no physical body filling the largest room of a physical place.
In a virtual concert the screen is the stage. So the bigger the stadium, the bigger the screen has to be. That is where the technical difficulty lies. A stage a person stands on has a fixed human scale; a figure inside a screen requires deciding, each time, how large it is allowed to be.
The route of a first tour
From Incheon it continues to Kanagawa in Japan, Kaohsiung in Taiwan, Bangkok in Thailand, Singapore, Taipei and Macau.
All of it is Asia. The name says world tour, but the first lap goes around Asia — a route that also shows where the audience for a virtual idol group sits thickest.
About the video above
The video above is 'Flame (feat. milet)', released on September 3. The Japanese singer milet takes part.
Given that the tour's second city is Kanagawa, this collaboration connects to the route. They are taking a song made with a Japanese singer to Japan.
Before you go
Tomorrow and the day after. Incheon Munhak Stadium is directly reached from Munhak Stadium Station on Incheon Line 1.
It is an outdoor main arena, so plan for a September night wind. It is a concert where you look at a screen for a long time, so how it feels changes a lot by seat.
My bag's already packed.
