Choi Yong-ho, CEO of Galaxy Corporation, presented a vision for the AI entertainment technology industry.
On the 1st, Choi appeared on CNBC in the United States, predicting that virtual entertainment consumption will continue, AI will enhance the efficiency of music video production to reduce costs, and 'robot idols' will emerge within five years, ushering in an era where physical and virtual idols coexist in entertainment.
Choi cited the recent success of the Netflix animated film 'K-Pop Demon Hunters' as an example, arguing that the hybrid virtual entertainment trend, where offline and non-face-to-face experiences coexist, will persist. He also emphasized that an 'AI post' era is approaching, where AI will replace most entertainment content and create new markets.
In line with this vision, Galaxy Corporation released the music video 'Home Sweet Home' based on Azure OpenAI Sora in collaboration with Microsoft (MS) last April. At the time, Satya Nadella, CEO of MS, evaluated it as an innovative attempt that would change the paradigm of the entertainment industry.
Galaxy Corporation conveyed its vision for AI entertainment technology, stating that it is proactively preparing for the future entertainment market by advancing robot and AI technology.
Meanwhile, Choi was invited to the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit dinner as the youngest attendee, joining global leaders. He was noted as the only entertainment technology company representative to meet with Satya Nadella during his visit to Korea. Recently, Choi has been actively engaging in social contribution activities, donating 2 million Hong Kong dollars with affiliated artist G-Dragon to the Hong Kong fire disaster.
