- Global revenue by concerts last year dropped 70% because of the pandemic.
- Kpop companies are trying to find ways to reboot the concert industry in the middle of a pandemic that is still far from ending (at least in some countries)
- Dream Maker Entertainment works with SM Entertainment for their Beyond Live Concerts, they create stage designs using immersive technologies that enhance visual effects in online concerts.
