Lee Soo Man Explains aespa's Concept, There Will Be Real Human and Avatar Versions in the Virtual World

Kapanlagi.com - aespa is attracting the attention of K-Pop fans worldwide. Besides being curious about who the members are, fans are also excited to see what aespa's unique concept looks like.

For those who are curious, Lee Soo Man, the founder of SM Entertainment, explained about aespa at the 2020 World Culture Industry Forum. Not inferior to their seniors, aespa also has a unique concept that has never been seen before.

1. Between Two Worlds

The essence is that aespa will be divided into two. The actual aespa that exists in the real world and as avatars in the virtual world.

"As you can see, aespa has real human members in the real world. And there are avatar members in the virtual world. It's about how they interact and communicate through the digital world, in a place between reality and virtual. The actual members in the real world with avatars in the virtual world, along with mysterious creatures in the virtual world who will support each other and act as trusted assistants, can perform in the real world with the original members," said Lee Soo Man.

2. Further Explanation

Okay, maybe we need to think a little about what Lee Soo Man said. But he explains further so that we understand the concept of aespa's story.

"aespa will become a new group with a revolutionary identity. If I may explain further, in the aespa girl group, there are members from the real world and members from the virtual world. The members in the real world and the virtual world will not ask each other to do something special, but they interact and communicate as independent beings because they have AI (artificial intelligence) brains. They talk to each other and help each other. They become friends and share information. They engage in activities in their respective worlds and share what they do. They will be able to visit each other's worlds," he further explained.

3. A New World Will Be Opened

Somehow, the meeting between the original aespa members and the avatar version will happen. What is clear is that Lee Soo Man asks us to anticipate a new 'world' that will be presented through aespa.

"They will also be able to interact by holding live broadcasts on social media that didn't exist before. The entire revolutionary concept of this story will be released soon. Have we already created avatars? Will we create them? Oh no. Avatars, like we see in the real world, are born from the unknown virtual world. And members from the real world, who are real humans, will be able to meet the avatars for the first time in a certain world. This world will be opened to you soon," he concluded.
