Company Overview

Founded in Los Angeles in 2015 by former early executives of Kakao, AmazeVR has become a global leader in virtual reality entertainment. Leveraging proprietary technologies such as hyper-real 8K live-action filming, Unreal Engine-based VFX pipeline, AI upscaling, AI relighting, and AI keying, we deliver groundbreaking immersive experiences to fans around the world.

To date, we have raised $50.8 million USD (approx. KRW 69.7 billion) in funding from leading investors including Mirae Asset Capital, CJ ENM, LG Technology Ventures, and Smilegate Investment. Backed by this support, we continue to push the boundaries of what's possible in VR.

Artist Projects

Get ready to fangirl/fanboy out! We've already brought incredible VR concerts to life:

• Megan Thee Stallion: Our first major project, "Enter Thee Hottiverse," was a smashing success, touring 17 major U.S. cities in early 2022.
• K-pop Powerhouses: Through our joint venture with SM Entertainment, we produced breathtaking VR concerts for aespa and EXO’s KAI, which premiered in Seoul’s Megabox theaters.
• Tomorrow X Together (TXT): In 2024, we partnered with HYBE’s BigHit Music to launch TXT’s first VR concert, which swept across 14 countries, including Korea, the U.S., Japan, and multiple European markets.
• New K-pop Adventures: 2025 saw the launch of VR concerts for CHA EUN-WOO and ENHYPEN, further expanding our incredible K-pop lineup.
