As the global market for virtual idols continues to expand, Pony ENT is at the forefront of this growing trend, offering innovative solutions that cater to the evolving entertainment landscape.

Growing demand for virtual entertainment

The virtual idol business market is experiencing exponential growth, driven by the increasing demand for immersive digital entertainment experiences.

Pony ENT is leading the way in Intellectual Property (IP) production, enabling the acquisition and utilization of various celebrities' IP. The company boasts a world-class 3D scanning facility, equipped with advanced scanners capable of capturing the exact facial and bodily features of celebrities.

Complementing their scanning capabilities, Pony ENT houses a cutting-edge motion capture facility. Outfitted with state-of-the-art cameras and sensors, this facility accurately captures the movements and expressions of real individuals, infusing virtual idols with unparalleled authenticity and dynamism.

Digital artists, transformative ideas

Already having developed virtual humans in collaboration with an Indonesian company, Pony ENT is actively expanding its presence in the East Asian region. Minho Kang, CEO of Pony ENT, stated, "Pony Entertainment is planning to release interactive AI virtual human content products in the first quarter of next year as part of its next-generation virtual human business. The company plans to continue building and implementing an environment for two-way communication by connecting ChatGPT to AI humans created with the IP of celebrities. This will increase profitability in various business areas such as education, performances, and games."
