Choi Yong-ho, CEO of global Physical AI “enter-tech” company Galaxy Corporation, presented a new direction for the AI industry on the finale stage of the “AI for Good Global Summit 2026,” hosted by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) under the United Nations. Choi drew attention from the global AI industry by delivering a keynote speech and unveiling a K-pop humanoid robot performance.
At the event held on the 10th (local time) at Palexpo in Geneva, Switzerland, Choi delivered the main keynote under the theme “Today, Tomorrow, The Day After Tomorrow (The Future of AI is Humanity).” He subdivided the development stages of AI technology into “Tomorrow (Physical AI)” and “The Day After Tomorrow (Soul AI)” and elaborated on them. He went on to stress that the future AI industry must move beyond technology-centric competition and evolve in a direction that supports human emotion, memory, and cultural values.
Choi stated, “AI must evolve beyond a technology that merely enhances performance and develop into an existence that understands human life and emotions,” introducing a human-centric AI philosophy. He conveyed the message “Let’s Give AI a Soul,” eliciting a positive response from participants.

In the subsequent finale performance, Galaxy Corporation unveiled a K-pop humanoid robot performance it had planned. The humanoid robots executed actual K-pop choreography, demonstrating that AI can become a new platform for expressing culture and art, beyond serving merely as an industrial tool.
On the same day, Choi also introduced the robot fashion show “MACH33” and “Galaxy Robot Park,” a Physical AI–based multi-cultural complex. Galaxy Robot Park, which recently began a pre-opening, has drawn attention, with its weekend shows in July selling out shortly after reservations opened. Galaxy Corporation plans to operate more than 1,000 regular K-pop robot performances annually after the park officially opens in September.
CEO Choi Yong-ho stated, “Galaxy Corporation will continue to grow as a Physical AI enter-tech platform that supplies emotion, character, fashion, and K-content to humanoid robots worldwide,” adding, “The company will realize a future in which humans and robots together create new culture.”
