Our society is rapidly changing with the core technology of the 4th industrial revolution, the emergence of a generation with new characteristics, and the untact era following the With Corona policy. Although the transition to untact is accelerating in the field of performing arts, in the case of opera, face-to-face performances are mainly conducted by experts and enthusiasts through on-site performances. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the uncertainty of creating opportunities through the influx of new customers such as the MZ generation and the departure of existing experts and enthusiasts. In this study, in order to examine these existing problems, we conducted literature review and case analysis, compared the opera face-to-face/non-face-to-face performance characteristics, derived an activation plan, and conducted expert interviews to secure the coherence and validity of the plan. In conclusion, we thought that it was difficult to improve the sound and sound quality, impairing the sense of presence and emotion due to many shortcomings when operating non-face-to-face as a music genre with the characteristics of opera. Therefore, we established the direction of activating the opera mainly face-to-face, but making good use of the advantages of non-face-to-face, which is not limited by region and time, and promoting the direction of activating face-to-face and non-face-to-face performances complementary to each other through the concept of cultural enjoyment.

This study conducted a questionnaire survey on 280 people who had experience of using mobile augmented reality-based online concerts. Using the SPSS 21.0 and AMOS 21.0 programs, the factors affecting the intention to reuse were investigated through statistical analysis(correlation analysis, path analysis, etc.). The main results are as follows. First of all, Presence and interactivity had a positive effect on flow, perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness. Flow had a positive effect on perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness. Perceived ease of use had a positive effect on perceived usefulness, and perceived usefulness had a direct positive effect on intention to reuse whereas perceived ease of use had an indirect effect on intention to reuse through perceived usefulness. In order to increase the intention to reuse of the mobile augmented reality-based online concert, it is necessary to prepare a plan to increase the level of presence, interactivity, and flow experienced by users. This study identified factors that affect the intention to reuse online concerts based on mobile augmented reality in an untact society. Therefore, it will be meaningful in that it presents the implications necessary to prepare a plan that can be efficiently accepted by consumers for the rapidly growing mobile augmented reality-based online concert.

There are three focuses in the paper. Firstly, the study identified what channels were most viewed by YouTube users to watch the 'Daejang-dong scandal,' which was the most powerful agenda to influence the candidate preference among voters during the 20th presidential election. Secondly, the study analyzed whether the political tone of the first videos was in line with that of the subsequent videos. Finally, we compared the sentiment of comments on the first and subsequent videos. The results showed that TBS 'News Factory' and 'TV Chosun News' represented liberal and conservative factions, respectively. Secondly, the political tone of channels that were viewed subsequently was neutral, but the conservative channel users left more negative comments and that was significant statistically. In addition, about 80% of the conservative and liberal channel users shared the same political tendency with the channel they watched first, and more than 90% of the comments left at the subsequent videos in line with that of at the first news. Based on these results, the study concluded that the voters tended to seek political news that was similar with their political ideology, and it was considered a sort of echo chamber phenomenon on the YouTube. The study suggests that the performance of high-quality journalism by traditional news outlet might contribute to decrease the negative influence of political contents on YouTube users.

With the recent advent of the New Normal era, realistic technologies and non-contact technologies are receiving social attention. However, the hair styling field focuses on the direction of the hair itself, individual movements, and modeling, focusing on hair simulation. In order to create an improved practice environment and demand of the times, this study proposed a non-contact hair styling VR system. In the theoretical review, we studied the existing cases of hair cut research. Existing haircut-related research tend to be mainly focused on force-based feedback. Research on the interactive haircut work in the virtual environment as addressed in this paper has not been done yet. VR controllers capable of finger tracking the movements necessary for beauty enable selection, cutting, and rotation of beauty tools, and built a non-contact collaboration environment. As a result, we conducted two experiments for interactive hair cutting in VR. First, it is a haircut operation for synchronization using finger tracking and holding hook animation. We made position correction for accurate motion. Second, it is a real-time interactive cutting operation in a multi-user virtual collaboration environment. This made it possible for instructors and learners to communicate with each other through VR HMD built-in microphones and Photon Voice in non-contact situations.

Currently, we stand between computers as creative tools and computers as creators. A new genre of movies, which can be called a post-cinema situation, is emerging. This paper aims to diagnose the possibility of the emergence of AI cinema. To confirm the possibility of AI cinema, it was examined through a case study whether the creation of a story, narrative, image, and sound, which are necessary conditions for film creation, is possible by artificial intelligence. First, we checked the visual creation of AI painting algorithms Obvious, GAN, and CAN. Second, AI music has already entered the distribution stage in the market in cooperation with humans. Third, AI can already complete drama scripts, and automatic scenario creation programs using big data are also gaining popularity. That said, we confirmed that the filmmaking requirements could be met with AI algorithms. From the perspective of Manovich's 'AI Genre Convention', web documentaries and desktop documentaries, typical trends post-cinema, can be said to be representative genres that can be expected as AI cinemas. The conditions for AI, web documentaries and desktop documentaries to exist are the same. This article suggests a new path for the media of the 4th Industrial Revolution era through research on AI as a creator of post-cinema.

With the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic situation, the attention on Metaverse has been soared throughout media and publications. Recently the entertainment industry is also changing to actively utilize the virtual world with artists working through Metaverse platforms. With the recent high interests on Metaverse, this study attempts to illuminate how the public perceives and accepts Metaverse experiences. While research on Metaverse has been mainly focused on specific technologies or technical objects, this study focuses on exploring how fans recognize and understand the concept of Metaverse through newly debuted idol group 'aespa', composing of 4 human members and 4 AI avatar members that integrate real and virtual world. For this, this study seeks to analyze the reaction and recognition of fans by exploring online community 'DC Inside'. As a result of analyzing the reactions of fans in the early days of aespa's debut, the perspectives of understanding AI members of aespa are categorized into three groups: first, the type of equating and accepting the real and the virtual world; second, the type of recognizing the real world and the virtual world separately and recognizing the virtual member as an avatar or concept, not a genuine member; and finally, a type of recognizing virtual worlds separately from reality. Based on these results, the implications that Metaverse contents may have in the entertainment industry are suggested.

In the modern era, the necessity of color capability in the digital era is the demand of the era, and research on improving color practice on the subdivided digital four areas that are not in the existing practice is needed. For digital majors who are difficult to solve in existing paint color practice, classes in digital color practice in four more specialized areas are needed, and the use of efficient artificial intelligence was studied for classes in digitized color and color sense. In this paper, we tried to show the expansion of the color practice area by suggesting digital color practice and color matching method based on Photoshop artificial intelligence and big data technology that existing color and color matching were practice that only CMYK could do. In addition, based on the color quantification data of individual users provided by the latest Adobe Sceney program artificial intelligence, the purpose of the practice was to improve learners' predictions of actual color combinations and random colors using filter effects. In conclusion, it is a study on the use of programs that eliminate ambiguity in the mixing process of existing paint practice, secure digital color details, and propose a practical method that can provide effective learning methods for beginners and intermediates to develop their senses through artificial intelligence support. The Adobe program practice method necessary for coloration and main color through theoretical consideration and improvement of teaching skills that are better than existing paint practice were presented.

The purpose of this study is to find out how on-line counseling modalities (phone, video, and video counseling using digital mask) differ from face-to-face counseling in terms of clients' perception of working alliance, depth and smoothness of each session, satisfaction, and their qualitative counseling experience. 40 university students participated in the experiment, divided into 4 groups, received 3 personal counseling sessions per person. The quantitative data revealed no significant difference among the four counseling groups in working alliance. Also, the "depth" of the session was similar in the four groups, but phone and video with mask counseling group who did not expose their faces showed higher "smoothness" in the first and second sessions than face-to-face counseling group, indicating that anonymity was helping the clients' inhibition overcome. Through the post-interview data, subtle differences in experience of each counseling method were identified by the participants. The results are expected to provide primary information for developing and implementing various online counseling modalities in the future.
