About 23i - Innovative Business Model and Vision
23rd Century Kids develops and operates fandom-driven virtual idol IP. Using game engine-based real-time motion capture together with a proprietary toon shader, the company translates human movement into character performance without perceptible delay, while also rendering motions no physical body could perform, such as quadrupedal movement or flight. The result is an experience in which a virtual being breathes with its fans in real time.
WE GO-6, the company’s first virtual boy group, is aimed at a generation that enjoys K-POP alongside subculture forms such as animation and comics. Each member carries a distinct persona, and this multi-persona concept allows narrative to accumulate in the characters themselves. As major entertainment companies move into the virtual idol space, 23rd Century Kids brings together production technology and IP development within a single team, building idol IP connected directly to its fandom.
