These buildings are like giant screens usually installed in the background.

The stage installed in the forest of the city of GBK did not have a screen that was too big.

However, the screen set up on the stage actually seemed to blend in with the visuals displayed on the buildings behind it.

In addition, the event organizers covered the fence around the GBK city forest with thousands of giant vines, giving the impression of being in the middle of a forest.
