The service was originally provided as a mobile app, where users either had to view it on a small smartphone screen or connect it to a TV or Monitor using the smartphone mirroring function.

These limitations have been overcome and iPIXEL and KT, now for the first time in Korea, provide a convenient remote home fitness service through IPTV.

iPIXEL CEO Sangsoo Lee said “We will continue to release next generation metaverse content such as K-pop dance content augmented with AI”, adding “We will continue to create new and valuable customer experiences as well as scaling up our business”.

iPIXEL continues its rapid growth including having “HowFIT” selected as the best app in the self-development category for Google Play’s Best Apps of 2021.

In 2020, through “Platinum Technology Investment” (CEO Lee Chang-Soo), iPIXEL was selected in the private-led technology start-up support program (TIPS) organized by the Ministry of SMEs and Startups. With accelerating and open innovation support from the Gyeonggi Innovation Center it was able to form a partnership with KT.

This year, it gained recognition for its technology and business feasibility and was given an award at KT’s ‘Digico Contest to Discover Future Growth Enterprises’. It was also selected in the ‘2021 K-Champ Collaboration’ program hosted by the Gyeonggi Innovation Center and KT and will continue to receive support through this.
