Now fans can visit a hologram hall any time they want to see their favorite k-pop star's concert.

KT Corporation(formerly known as Korea Telecom) and ministry of science ict and future planning has launched a hologram concert hall for the first time in the world called ‘Klive’ in the Korea’s fashion mecca, Dongdaemun on Jan 17 at the 9th and 10th floors of Lotte FITIN shopping center which is located across the road from Dongdaemun History and Culture Park.

Representive at ministry of science ict and future planning stated on 16th that Klive concert hall is 17791.58(ft2)wide, it's big enough to house many digital attractions apart from the hologram concert hall.
Ministry of science ict and future planning has invested $7.8 million along with KT's $1 million investment in this project.

K-pop stars from YG entertainment such as PSY,BIGBANG,2NE1 will hold paid concert 8times a day.
YG already showcased a hologram concert in partner with Everland, called K-Pop Hologram Theater, displaying concerts of PSY and 2NE1. And with the launch of Klive, BIGBANG stands first in line. At Klive, BIGBANG’s ‘Fantastic Baby,’ and ‘Bad Boy’ will be shown, along with 2NE1’s ‘I Am The Best’ and Fire,’ and PSY’s ‘Gangnam Style’ and ‘Gentleman.’
Last May, YG collaborated with KT and District to establish a hologram contents investment distributor NIK, and is currently pushing forward plans to sign the contract with mid-sized agencies like DSP and F&C. NIK functions as a stable distributor of hologram contents, which allows establishment of Klive halls in tourists sites and other key areas to expand the hologram business.

The Klive hall carries significance as it was first launched in Seoul, a city where dynamic consumption is seen in the cultural sector.
Moreover, fans will be entertained by energetic dance performances and 270-degrees-view media façade before the hologram concert starts at Klive.

Klive will be stimulating all five senses of the fans, apart from simply showcasing performances. The terrace looks on to the entire view of Dongdaemun, while artists’ goods like G-DRAGON’s concert car and outfits will be displayed.

The ‘Augmented Reality Elevator’ will make fans feel like they are riding the elevator with the artists, while the ‘Secret Window’ allows fans to enjoy unrevealed scenes with special glasses, and at the 6m-tall ‘Giant Tower,’ fans can view artists’ photographs freely. Fan participation is maximized at the ‘Star Photo Box,’ where they can take photos with their favorite artists and even print them out.

In August, SM Entertainment plans to open another hologram concert hall at Samsung COEX in Seoul as well as musical production which features hologram holographic with mix of live action.


Klive will be open from 2 p.m. to 11 p.m., and is closed every Monday. Details including the show schedule and discounts can be seen on www.klive.co.kr.
