AETHERIUM announced on the 24th that it presented 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 in Ilsan on the 23rd.

This program, planned by AETHERIUM, aims to provide a new platform experience where fans and AI idols can communicate and grow together by integrating AI and NFT technologies into the existing idol selection system.

AETHERIUM platform provides a function where AI idols and fans can have 1:1 conversations, and fans can interact with their favorite idols at any time. AI idols are explained to be efficient in terms of operation as there are no risk factors such as privacy controversies or contract violations, and additional costs such as travel expenses and styling can be reduced. It is expected to demonstrate strong competitiveness in the global market as it is possible to communicate with fans around the world in various languages ​​24 hours a day.

AI idol fans can fairly and transparently decide the fate of AI idols through NFT voting, which has been incorporated to prevent manipulation within the AETHERIUM platform. In addition, a game element has been introduced where fans can purchase items and apply them to AI idols. This adds to the fun of fans being able to directly decorate and develop the appearance and performance of AI idols.

Famous composers and dancers who composed songs for global K-pop stars will participate in AETHERIUM's AI idol project to maximize the musical appeal of AI idols. Music combined with AI technology is expected to attract attention as an innovative work that maintains the traditional sensibility of K-pop while containing new attempts.

Lee Sae-mi, CMO of Wowkorea, said, “The world’s first AI idol survival audition broadcast production and the AETHERIUM platform, “AI meets K-pop, the beginning of a new idol world.” In an era where AI leads the present and the future, with AI technology developing rapidly, a new wind is blowing in the K-pop A industry.

AETHERIUM said, "We have built a unique system that goes beyond simply managing AI idols and allows fans to directly participate and grow idols." "This project is an example that shows the future of AI technology and the music industry, and suggests the possibility of how the fusion of fandom culture and technology can create a new idol culture."
