Los Angeles was the epicenter of the next Q-pop evolution this week as Galaxy Corporation The hosted its first auditions for a virtual K-pop group in El Rei Theater.

From Aespa“AE” launch avatars – a trapped virtual group Blue To the current success at the top of Cat / K and Final Chart Graph KPOP Demon HuntersVirtual idols and a combination of technology and music are nothing new, but a galaxy of corporation on Monday (8. September) they were falling into a perfect time. The company is described as “entry tech“- Converting IPs, Media and Technology – and they are betting in the future where human contractors can perform and communicate with fans, marking another step forward in the current experimentation of music industry with digital idols. They currently have a small-ali-growing roster clients G-dragonSong, Kang-Ho (Parasite) and Kim Jong-Kook, and also produced competition Netflix Breakout realty Physically: 100who continued to have several spin-off.

Although most K-pop auditions have strict doms, certain gender or other barriers to entry, the audition of Galaxy’s corporation was looking for anyone with talent, regardless of genre, nationality or age. With this global search, “looking for creativity, emotional honesty and ability to connect with the audience”, not visual members, how the members of the group will have a movement, GK (Giuhiuk Song), the head of the Galaxy Corporation and Senior Lead for this project. Bilbord. Some aspects of this project are based on the traditional Idol group model: “Traditional idol training will remain in the core, but also integrate new elements such as digital performance and interaction on performance and fan, in order to prepare artists that can move imperceptibly.” And as intended, candidates who came in person remained between the early teenagers of adults. One of the Father flew with his auditional daughter from the east coast with dreams to participate in this project.

“Can an artist really exist forever?” The question that stuck with the GK during its 12 years on SMB was fun before joining the Galaxy Corporation, note that “groups fight to surpass the seven-year standard periods of contracts.” Of course, these days there are many exceptions to the global size of K-POP and the ways in which fans are more connected to their favorite artists than ever, but with this new project is the goal of creating “eternal artists”.

The concept of virtual artists is not entirely new – Gorilla’s early 2000s, but what sets these newer groups is that their avatars are presented as completely realized individuals, and actual identities often hiddenly hidden.

Within El Rei, the Galaxy Corporation prepared the area for holding on the balcony of the theater and followed the candidates to the main phase, while they covered large umbrellas to maintain anonymity throughout the process, except the name and age. The large screen was placed on the stage for the trial of the Commission – who included the GK, together with two other representatives of the Galaxy Corporation. Behind the screen, candidates had traces on the positioning floor and had a special screen to see their movements – they filmed as one of the two pre-designed avatars.

Fandom is already the basic driver of so much success of artists and ways to integrate fans in this new project is also on top of the mind.

“We believe that a fandom will become even more interactive and participatory,” says GK. “Fans will not only support, but also form creatively making through ai-driven platforms. This could lead to a new culture in which the line between the Creator and Fan, encouraging communities that feel deeply personal and globally connected.”

Additional audience circles are expected to be held in other cities later this year, and the galaxy directed the debutant that sets a group as a really global work.
