Company Performance Metrics
- Joon Jung: Co-Founder and CEO
MVNT is a Seoul-based AI company building Dance Intelligence — the world's first and only dance-specialized generative AI model. Where music generation and video generation have matured into standalone industries, choreographed human motion remains the missing layer. MVNT fills that gap: input any audio track, get production-ready dance
animation in seconds.
At the core is mvnt-m4, MVNT's proprietary diffusion model trained on a fully licensed motion capture dataset built in direct collaboration with approximately 100 professional choreographers. The model outputs skeletal animation data (BVH/FBX/GLB) across genres including K-pop, hip-hop, contemporary, ballet, and waltz — compatible with major game engines and 3D pipelines out of the box.
MVNT ships two products built on this foundation. mvntSTUDIO is a web-based dance generation platform for creators, reaching 1,000 users organically within two weeks of launch. Unreal Dance Editor is a native Unreal Engine plugin for game developers and virtual production studios, co-developed with Epic Games Korea and distributed via Epic's FAB marketplace.
On the B2B side, MVNT operates as an API infrastructure layer for AI video and 3D platforms — enabling partners to add music-driven dance animation to their pipelines without building the capability in-house. API integrations with platforms including fal.ai and Replicate are in progress.
The company was co-founded by Joon Jung (CEO), formerly of SM Entertainment, and Youngjun Choi (Executive Producer), one of Korea's most acclaimed K-pop choreographers with credits on 800+ works for acts including SEVENTEEN and TWICE, and an executive at 1MILLION Dance Studio. The technical team includes AI researchers from KAIST and the University of Amsterdam, with offices in Seoul, Seattle, and Amsterdam.
MVNT is an Epic MegaGrant recipient (January 2026), a member of NVIDIA Inception, and is backed by Mashup Ventures. The company has conducted dance AI PoCs with major K-pop labels and maintains an ongoing R&D partnership with Epic Games Korea.
