BTS, TXT And Other K-Pop Idols Will Appear At The Virtual Concert On May16

JAKARTA - A number of K-pop idol groups, namely Bangtan Sonyeondan (BTS), Super Junior, D&E, TWICE, ITZY, TXT, and other top artists will appear in a virtual concert held by Lotte Duty Free on May 16, 2021.

The concert titled the 31st Online Family Concert will be hosted by Super Junior's Shindong. Last year, a similar concert was tapped in Korean, and translated into Chinese, Vietnamese, and 6 other languages so that fans around the world can enjoy the concert.

It's different from before, this concert added Entertech's Metaverse technology with AR (Augmented Reality) & XR (Virtual Convergence Technology) to provide the audience with the best experience such as a vivid and real virtual stage decoration.

That way, the audience is expected to be able to feel the atmosphere of watching the concert live, even though virtually.

"The presence of the 31st Family Concert is a form of our commitment to an environmentally friendly lifestyle, and we also invite the public to be ready for life after COVID-19", said CEO of Lotte Duty Free, Lee Kap in a press release, written by Antara, Friday.

To be able to watch this online family concert, the audience must be registered as a member of Lotte Duty Free. After logging in to the Lotte Duty Free Internet, members only need to enter their e-mail address on the event page.

After that, via e-mail broadcast from Lotte Duty Free, an entry code will be given to enter on May 16 at 15:00 p.m. local time (or 17.00 p.m. South Korean time) and just enjoy the concert.

This year, the Family Concert is also planned to be broadcasted on the TikTok platform.

Then, to add to the excitement of the concert, the plan is to have an event with prizes that the audience can participate in. You do this by uploading a screenshot of the artist's boarding pass on the official Lotte Duty Free social media to a personal account and including #Familyconcert, #Duty4Earth, #LotteDufyFree.

Up to 100 lucky people will be awarded the eco-friendly Upcycling Film Camera.

The Lotte Duty Free Family Concert has been started in 2006 and is an event representing K-Culture that can be enjoyed by both Koreans and foreign tourists every year.

The number of viewers who have watched the Family Concert live, which since last year has been going online due to the COVID-19 pandemic, has reached 1 million people.
