STEPIN, a K-pop dance app powered by real-time motion tracking AI, has recently introduced a new "K-pop Dance Tournament" feature. This update, combined with Sidewalk Entertainment's proprietary tournament automation system, enables objective and fair evaluations of dance moves, delivering results promptly.

Kibong Kook, CEO of Sidewalk Entertainment, commented, "Traditional offline dance competitions require significant manpower and time for organization and judging. In contrast, the STEPIN Dance Tournament leverages AI to provide objective dance evaluations and ensures the competition runs smoothly. For corporate clients looking to host large-scale dance tournaments, we offer a tournament toolkit that allows a single individual to manage an entire event."

The STEPIN app is available on both Google Play and the Apple App Store. More details about the dance competition can be found on STEPIN's official social media channels.

Meanwhile, Sidewalk Entertainment recently showcased a dance experience zone at the K-Collection during KCON LA 2024 from August 26 to 28. The event generated significant interest among attendees, highlighting the potential for the company's expansion into the U.S. market.
