September 28, 2022 – Seoul, South Korea
Modhaus has completed an NFT-based voting process, called Gravity, that will define the member composition of the first K-Pop group directed entirely by fans.
TripleS is the first ever K-pop group to use blockchain technology to cast votes for a real-life artist. By using blockchain technology, Modhaus hopes to give fans more power by being fully interactive with its fans. It does so by leveraging NFT governance, allowing TripleS NFT holders to choose the subgroups of TripleS and the individual members of each group from the very start.
The first Gravity of TripleS lasted from September 21-25, 2022, with more than 8,000 NFT holders voting 4,417 times and the event generating 4,728 transactions on Polygon overall.
Unlike other K-pop votes in the past, Modhaus’ voting structure is unique in that fans can participate via the purchase of TripleS NFTs. One NFT automatically generates one voting token (COMO), which enables fans to cast their vote. During this Gravity period, a total of 10,774 COMO were used.
The vote decided the composition of two sub-units, Acid Angel from Asia (AAA) and +(KR)ystal Eyes (KR). AAA represents a completely new dance style from the current K-pop genre, while KR is a more ‘traditional’ K-pop experience with dynamic sounds and flamboyant style. So far eight members have been revealed, but TripleS will eventually hold votes for 24 of them.
Modhaus is a unique project that seeks to export K-entertainment to the wider world. Following the wild success of ‘Squid Game,’ plus K-pop groups like BTS and Black Pink, Korean culture is starting to seep into mainstream Western audiences.
Modhaus wants to leverage this phenomenon to create a new way to let fans feel like a part of a community. Thanks to NFTs and blockchain technology, TripleS can be directed and formed by the community, instead of a top-down structure.
Jaden Jeong, founder and CEO of Modhaus, said,
“The first Gravity was a smashing success, proving that fans are really curious to be directly involved in the fate of a group. Korean entertainment is really rich and authentic, and by revolutionizing how fans engage with it, we can really create something interesting and unique.”
Modhaus is incubated by Unopnd, a research and startup studio launched by Hashed. It focuses on exciting new ideas for the metaverse and NFTs, supporting the next phase of blockchain adoption.
