Eastsoft is introducing a video call service that connects K-Pop artists with fans using real-time interactive artificial intelligence (AI) avatar technology.
On October 15, Eastsoft announced the launch of the K-Pop artist video call app 'Blooming Talk,' developed in collaboration with Blooming Grace, which will manage service operations and A2O artist intellectual property (IP) rights. Eastsoft will provide AI avatar creation and rendering and streaming technology, while Mind Logic is responsible for app development.
'Blooming Talk' was unveiled in conjunction with the domestic debut of the K-Pop idol groups 'A2O SOUL' and 'A2O LITE,' produced by Lee Soo-man. The app will serve as a global communication channel for all 24 members of the two groups.
Users can experience one-on-one video calls with their chosen members, moving beyond traditional text or voice-based fan communication platforms to engage in conversations while seeing the artists' faces.
Eastsoft has individually created AI avatars for the 24 members based on actual filming data, capturing their unique appearances and personalities. The AI avatars respond in real-time to fans' voices and utilize server-based rendering and streaming technology to minimize device performance limitations and support high-quality video calls.
Plans are also in place to expand multilingual support, including Korean, English, Japanese, and Chinese, to facilitate natural communication between global fans and artists in their respective languages.
Jung Sang-won, CEO of Eastsoft, stated, “The real-time AI avatar technology of Perso Interactive, combined with Blooming Grace's global IP, will create a powerful synergy. Based on our proven technology across various industries such as exhibitions, retail, and education, we aim to achieve growth in the entertainment sector centered around the global K-Pop fandom.”
