[theqoo] VIRTUAL IDOLS, WHICH ENTAIL LOW OPERATING COSTS AND NO RISK OF PRIVACY SCANDALS, ON THE RISE
Virtual idols, who entail lower debut and operational costs compared to human idols and carry no risk of personal life scandals, are the ‘Holy Grail’ that producers in the idol market have long dreamed of,” said A, the CEO of a virtual idol production company. “Those who were previously skeptical and merely testing the waters have jumped in after witnessing the remarkable revenue generated by groups like PLAVE and ISEGYE IDOL in 2025, and investment firms have also begun to provide funding.”
1. Are they really counting Gorillaz as virtual idols?? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
2. Anyone can tell who A is here ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I don’t even stan virtual idols or know much about them, but if it’s a CEO producing virtual idols..ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
3. Do reporters write articles without knowing the facts or doing any research? Then again, articles like this seem to be everywhere these days.
4. But from the perspective of someone who doesn’t really know the ins and outs, I feel like it doesn’t really matter whether the person behind the avatar has caused a scandal or not, since, at the end of the day, I’m just into that 2D “shell” (?) or the character persona built around it, you know…?
6. Isn’t there still that one place that got caught trying to poach a member from a virtual idol group and had to delete the post? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
7. Let’s make all idols AI
8. There’s basically no risk of getting sasaengs ㅋㅋㅋ
9. It’s been a while I haven’t read such an insincere post
