The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

The Debut: Dream Academy is a talent competition reality show created as an international collaboration between record labels Hybe and Geffen Records aimed at creating a global girl group. The fan-interactive project involved 20 female candidates from around the world competing in three "missions" to test their artistry. Eliminations occurred after each mission, leaving 10 contestants to compete in the finale, where the group's final members were decided. According to Hybe Chairman Bang Si-hyuk, the project's intention was to form "an international group based on K-pop methodology". The project was announced on August 28, 2023, premiered later that week on September 1, and finished on November 17, running for a total of 12 weeks. The show concluded with the announcement of the winner's six-member girl group known as Katseye. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
