Highest Quality Display for Virtual Production
Indoor Studio Spanning 1600 Pyeong and 19.6m High

A K-content production base has been established in Tanhyeon-myeon, Paju. It is the CJ ENM Studio Center. With large-scale sets and the latest filming facilities, it enhances the efficiency of producing movies, dramas, and advertisements. It is gaining attention as a hub to lead the globalization of K-content.

On the 5th, CJ ENM unveiled the Studio Center to the media, announcing the start of a well-made intellectual property (IP) mass production system. It is a state-of-the-art complex studio complex. On a site area of 211,570㎡ (64,000 pyeong), it includes thirteen indoor studios, outdoor open sets, multi roads, an art center, conference rooms, restaurants, cafes, waiting rooms, makeup rooms, and parking lots. Two of the indoor studios are virtual production spaces. Using virtual backgrounds displayed on LED walls, they provide a sense of presence and various camera angles comparable to on-location shoots.

The main LED wall is a horseshoe shape with a diameter of 20m and a height of 7.3m. The ceiling is also decorated with LED screens, enabling the realization of various shots in movies, dramas, and entertainment shows. The sub LED wall is a straight shape measuring 20m in length and 3.6m in height. It is used for extended reality (XR) stages, commerce, R&D, and more. The LED wall model is Samsung Micro LED 1.68 Pitch. A CJ ENM official explained, "It is the highest quality display among LEDs released so far," and "It was the first to be produced specifically for virtual production."

Other indoor studios are optimized for drama production. In particular, Studio 5 is the largest in the country (5,289㎡ / 1,600 pyeong). Its effective height (19.6m) is also considerable, enabling the production of K-pop programs that require various stages and screen directions. A CJ ENM official stated, "We successfully held the global music awards 'MAMA' at the end of last year." The remaining six and five studios are 2,644㎡ (800 pyeong) and 1,652㎡ (500 pyeong) respectively. Their effective height is also ample at 11.5m. Six works including the dramas Hwanhon, Little Women, and Joseon Psychiatrist Yoo Se-poong are being produced.

The four-lane road (280m) within the complex is the multi road. It is normally used as a regular road and sidewalk, but during filming, various road scenes can be created using chroma walls. The open sets are located on surrounding mountains and flatlands. Covering an area of 49,586㎡ (15,000 pyeong), they are available for both short-term and mid-to-long-term use. A CJ ENM official said, "Outdoor special filming is also possible."
