Aetherium announced on the 24th that it unveiled the world’s first AI idol survival audition program at the “DMTS 2024: K-Ventures AI, Blockchain, Smart Tech, and Convergence” event held at KINTEX, Ilsan, on the 23rd.
The program, planned by Aetherium, integrates AI and NFT technology into the traditional idol selection system, offering a new platform experience where fans and AI idols can interact and grow together.
On the Aetherium platform, fans can engage in one-on-one conversations with AI idols at any time. The AI idols are free from risks such as personal scandals or contract violations, and operational costs are reduced as there are no expenses for travel, styling, and so forth. With the ability to communicate with fans worldwide in multiple languages 24/7, the platform is expected to demonstrate strong global competitiveness.
Fans of AI idols can influence the fate of the idols through NFT-based voting, ensuring fair and transparent results. Additionally, game elements have been introduced, allowing fans to purchase items and customize the appearance and performances of their AI idols, adding a fun, interactive layer to the experience.
Top K-pop songwriters and dancers who have composed songs for global stars are participating in the project to enhance the musical appeal of the AI idols. The music created with AI technology is expected to maintain the traditional emotions of K-pop while introducing innovative elements.
An Aetherium representative stated, “We have built a unique system where fans not only manage but also nurture idols themselves,” adding, “This project showcases the future of AI technology and the music industry, presenting how the fusion of fandom culture and technology can create a new idol paradigm.”
