Launching BTS over Gwanghwamun.

BTS appeared over Gwanghwamun?

On the day BTS returned, Gwanghwamun Square no longer felt like Seoul.

The square was filled with people from all over the world, and the language, the atmosphere — everything felt different.

And then a thought crossed our mind.

“What if BTS & ARMY were actually floating here?”

So we decided to make it.

But the reality wasn’t easy.

We opened Blender, but creating the objects we had in mind, using a tool we had never used before, was harder than expected.

In our heads, the stage was already perfect.

But on the screen, the objects just wouldn’t follow.

“Is this where we get stuck?”

That’s when ChatGPT came to mind.

We gave it a shot, half in doubt. And what came back felt like a true “Eureka” moment.

It wasn’t just an explanation. A ready-to-use GLB file simply dropped in. Complete with colors, composition, even motion.

It felt like everything that had been blocked suddenly opened up.

We immediately moved into VR & 3D mode.

Adjusting scale and placement to match the real-world proportions of the space.

And then we went back to Gwanghwamun.

The moment we looked at the square through our phones,

we got chills.

A place we knew so well had become something entirely different.

We kept adjusting positions on site, refining the placement in real time.

Just a few meters made a complete difference in how the scene felt.

And in that moment, we knew.

“This actually works.”

“What we want, where we want it.”

That idea was no longer just a concept.

It was functioning — right in front of us.

All we did was layer digital elements onto physical space.

But the world started to look completely different.

It felt like building a homepage — placing elements, arranging them, adjusting them.

But there was one key difference.

This wasn’t a screen.

The space we were standing in had become the canvas.

On the day BTS returned, in Gwanghwamun Square, the moment when the Internet became spatial was taking shape.
