Leading this movement is VLAST, a company that has harnessed real-time engine technology to craft PLAVE, virtual idols capable of conveying human-like expressions and actions. Rather than relying on Al- generated vocals, actual human singers and dancers take the stage of their behalf.

What's more, these virtual idols engage with fans via live broadcasts on platforms like YouTube, enabling them to present the image fans have eagerly anticipated.

"PLAVE are essentially hosting online shows. The beauty of it is that they're accessible anywhere with an internet connection. They will forever stay in their current, unaging forms right alongside you," emphasized VLAST's head producer, Je Yeong-jae.
