They added, "We are preparing hard for a long time to complete a colorful performance that connects time, space, and generation with music."
Under the main theme "We've connected," this year's performance will feature artists' music, performances, and stages under four themes: "WE," "RE," "NEW," and "2021 Concert." Powered by "Weverse," the multi-view Live Streaming service will be provided, which will display up to six angles on one screen with 4K and HD image quality, allowing the audience to select the desired screen in real-time.
