He choreographed routines for K-pop stars like BTS and Seventeen. Now he's building AI for dance.
If you've seen a BTS or Seventeen music video, you've probably seen Choi Youngjun's work. He's trying to find a new way for dancers to make money: AI.
Joon Jung and Youngjun Choi, the cofounders of AI dance company MVNT, have been making waves in the world of K-pop choreography. With a portfolio of over 800 routines under his belt, Choi is now betting on artificial intelligence to revolutionize the industry. The company, which recently secured $200,000 in seed funding, aims to provide a platform for aspiring dancers and choreographers to create and monetize their work using AI tools.
By harnessing the power of AI, MVNT hopes to create a sustainable ecosystem where dancers can earn revenue from their routines, rather than being left out of the loop. As the duo continues to refine their AI-powered dance platform, they remain committed to maintaining the human touch that makes dance such a unique art form.
