AI-generated K-pop group muuo:23 releases its pre-debut single and draws fan backlash

muuo:23, a five-member K-pop boy group whose members are AI-generated digital artists, released its pre-debut digital single NEVERTHELESS on October 14, with the title track OVERSHOOT and a second song, Nectar. The group is a project of AI entertainment company Creation Zipup, and its music is distributed through CJ ENM. Human creatives still work on the music, choreography, styling and direction. Some K-pop fans on X criticized the launch, saying AI idols take attention away from human trainees who are still waiting to debut.
How you’d use it: If you make music videos, check fan reaction before putting AI-generated performers front and center.
