In the Era of Virtual Entertainment Consumption, Robot Idols Will Appear Within 5 Years.

Choi Yong-ho, CEO of Galaxy Corporation, presented the vision of the AI entertainment technology industry on the U.S. CNBC broadcast on the 1st. CEO Choi projected that virtual entertainment consumption will continue in the future, with AI enhancing the efficiency of music video production, reducing costs, and that 'robot idols' will emerge within 5 years, opening an entertainment era where they coexist with physical and virtual idols. He cited the recent success of Netflix 〈K-Pop Demon Hunters〉 and emphasized that the hybrid flow of virtual entertainment, where offline and non-face-to-face experiences coexist, will continue, and that an 'AI after' era will arrive, where AI replaces most entertainment content and creates new markets.

In line with this vision, Galaxy Corporation unveiled the music video 'Home Sweet Home' based on Azure OpenAI Sora in collaboration with Microsoft (MS) last April. At that time, MS CEO Satya Nadella praised it as an innovative attempt that would change the paradigm of the entertainment industry. Galaxy Corporation conveyed that it is proactively preparing for the future entertainment market by anticipating the advancement of robot and AI technologies. Meanwhile, CEO Choi Yong-ho was noted as the only entertainment tech company representative to meet with MS CEO Satya Nadella during his visit to Korea and was invited as the youngest guest to the APEC leaders' dinner, sitting alongside global leaders. Recently, Galaxy Corporation has also shown active engagement in social contribution activities by donating 2 million Hong Kong dollars along with their artist G-Dragon in response to the Hong Kong fire disaster.
