Woozi SEVENTEEN Firmly Denies BBC Article's Accusation about AI Usage: All SEVENTEEN Music is Written and Composed by Humans

Kapanlagi.com - Woozi SEVENTEEN speaks out on his personal Instagram regarding the BBC article's accusation that there is a possibility of Woozi creating songs with the help of AI. The Best Producer at the 6th Asia Artist Awards firmly denies it.

For those who don't know, aside from being a member of SEVENTEEN and the leader of the Vocal Unit, Woozi is also the songwriter and producer for most of SEVENTEEN's songs alongside BUMZU.

This started from the BBC releasing an article discussing AI in the K-Pop industry. In the article, BBC misinterpreted Woozi's answer when he was asked his opinion on AI by a journalist. Woozi answered that he tried using AI technology to create songs in order to understand its strengths and weaknesses.

In their article, the BBC wrote "There is a possibility of using AI in lyric writing." The parties involved did not respond even though Carat (SEVENTEEN fans) criticized the misinformation in the released article.

Through his personal Instagram, Woozi also showed the difference in meaning between what he conveyed and what was conveyed by the BBC. He also included quotes taken from the article. However, the post was later deleted.

"Trying to see what can be done by AI technology" = "There is a possibility of using AI for writing (lyrics)" ??????," wrote Woozi on Instagram Story with a laughing emoji.

Woozi also included quotes from a music journalist and K-Pop fan who mentioned that idols who use AI should give a statement, "Fans have the biggest role and they have a great influence on artists. K-Pop groups are always willing to learn and listen, and if SEVENTEEN and Aespa realize that they hurt fans (because of the use of AI), hopefully they can make a statement."

2. WOOZI's Strong Denial Followed by Pledis' Statement

After deleting his first Instagram Story post, Woozi reposted a clearer denial, writing it in both Korean and English. This could be one way to prevent any misinterpretation of his intentions.

"All SEVENTEEN music is written and composed by humans," wrote the idol, whose real name is Lee Jihoon.

Shortly after, Pledis Entertainment released an official statement," It is not true that SEVENTEEN's lyrics use AI, and we have conveyed our position to the foreign media that reported the news to correct it."
