Music performances are now enjoyed in the metaverse
Music performances utilizing Artificial Intelligence (AI) are rapidly developing through convergence with metaverse and digital human technologies. AI is also being utilized in sampling and home recording sectors. AI tools can already accomplish the entire process of completing a song, such as automatically generating lyrics or adding chords and even instrument sounds.
Emotionwave went a step further by developing a customized AI music concert service for public and multi-cultural spaces. Furthermore, four digital humans are currently active through music streaming sites and broadcasting. Emotionwave has created entirely new characters with unique temperaments and characteristics, established a formal process of generating and releasing original sound sources suitable for these characters through deep learning-based genre composition. The core technological capabilities and planning expertise that fuse technology and art are expected to create competitive value in the existing content and IP licensing market.
Connecting the digital world with the analog world
Emotionwave is a venture company founded in 2013 with the goal of creating a world where anyone can become a creator through the convergence of art and technology. The company believes that future technology should not be merely for problem-solving, but rather to connect people's hearts and emotions, thereby creating new markets by connecting the digital world with the analog world and moving people's hearts.

Emotionwave holds numerous domestic and international patents centered on metaverse-based virtual convergence technology, artificial intelligence music technology, Internet of Things (IoT) technology, and blockchain NFT technology. The company is concurrently pursuing AI Edutech business and Music Metaverse NFT platform business through these technologies. Last December, by successfully developing a 5G communication module for AIoT robotic instrument performance, the company was equipped with the conditions to provide an AI music concert service to customers in wireless environments, anticipating business expansion through this. Additionally, it is striving for various business expansions, including B2C and B2G through digital twins, as well as developing a Music Metaverse NFT platform where performances can be experienced or viewed both offline and online within metaverse spaces, targeting not only the MZ generation market but also beyond. Furthermore, plans are in place to host metaverse festivals utilizing major IPs.
The remote communication concert hall ‘K-DIGITAL STAGE’
Emotionwave is showcasing its ICT platforms developed through the ICT Fund project. The 'K-DIGITAL STAGE,' a non-face-to-face performance venue for smart music intelligence participating in the ICT Fund project, is a platform that fuses various ICT technologies such as artificial intelligence, Internet of Things (IoT), 5G, extended reality, and robotics. As a platform applicable in both non-face-to-face environments and face-to-face environments through digital twins, it provides services for listening to music, performance experiences, and ensemble/collaboration services across various genres.
Moreover, by adding immersive video media of actual artists, remote communication and performances are possible, providing the experience and value of future music technology. Furthermore, it can remotely monitor and control things such as video surveillance, AI robotic instrument performance and management, stage management, and fire/electrical monitoring, allowing for easy and convenient use as an unmanned platform even without resident staff. Currently, it is increasing revenue by introducing it to various offline locations such as large retail stores, hotels, and family cultural spaces.
From its early days of founding, Emotionwave has been dedicated to fundamental research and technology development that fuses technology and art, but it faced many difficulties because the market demand or technological conditions to create a business were not supported at the time. Then, with the advancement of 5G communication, the spread of media usage among the MZ generation, and coincidentally, the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic leading to an era of non-face-to-face interaction and the metaverse, market demand gradually grew due to the desire to express oneself in virtual space. As a result, Emotionwave's business rapidly improved as the market needs and technological conditions it envisioned were met. Based on this achievement, Emotionwave aims to expand into the US, Europe, and Southeast Asia in the second half of the year. In the future, the plan is to develop it into a platform that can effectively introduce Hallyu content such as K-POP and Korean traditional music, and also utilize and exchange with overseas content.
A world where anyone can be a creator or an artist
The core of the Emotionwave platform lies in making everyone a creator or content producer. To achieve this, many musicians, broadcasting, and entertainment industry professionals must harmonize to create content and an ecosystem, and the number of users who follow suit must increase. For that, first, the 'Experience-Education-Growth-Business' full cycle model must be completed on K-DIGITAL STAGE, and through this, it should be utilized so that many people can experience, learn, grow with a new platform, and even engage in profit-generating activities. To secure more users, they are focusing on reading the latest trend technologies and demands.
