" I think it would be good to create a world view with innovative and powerful storytelling from the planning stage, and how to create and convey a story and how to enter the world view in the future content.

From the planning stage to the artist's stage, we directly produced all the parts from the first half of the technical content to apply the AR effect. As an engineer of mine, there were some things that were possible, and I put my heart and soul into making sure that the artist's performance and advanced technology on the stage could bring out the best synergies for Orojoso.
