There have been more AI influencers and celebrities because the advancement in technology made it possible for these realistic individuals to be created through computer graphics.

These AI, virtual humans have been entering the music industry as AI singers have been releasing singles and songs. However, it seems that these songs are not performing well on music charts as expected.

According to Melon Chart on the 21st, the virtual AI singer Han Yoo Ah's debut song "I like that" did not even make it to the top 1000. Melon currently does not fully disclose the top 1000 on the chart, but if you search for a specific song name, you can find out whether it is included in the top 1000.

The track "I Like That" was released on the 12th of this month and was produced by various experts in the music industry. The music production was supervised by CJ ENM in collaboration with Smilegate, a production company behind Han Yoo Ah. The song was written and composed by Park Woo Sang, who composed MAMAMOO's "HIP," Hwa Sa's "Maria," Chung Ha's "SNAPPING," and more. The music video was produced by Vikings League, and the choreography was created by the renowned dance team 'One Million Dance Studio.'


Even if many renowned experts participated in the production, the results were poor. In particular, Han Yoo Ah announced that she would sign a management contract with YG K+ and work as a real 'singer.' Her debut song garnered much attention in the industry, but she was not well accepted by listeners ranking low on the music charts.

However, she is not the only virtual singer that didn't do well on the music charts. Even the famous virtual influencer Rozy also didn't do well in the music charts despite appearing in various commercials. Rozy released her single "Who Am I" in February and debuted as a singer, but her single did not make it on the music charts as well.

Likewise, there are experts who state that virtual singers do not have much merit even though the advanced technology makes it possible to create real-looking computer graphics. Additionally, a lot of human resources are needed to produce music videos, and considerable costs are incurred. Not only that, there is no strong fan base, so the virtual humans are bound to be less successful compared to the advertisement and marketing used.

That's because music and art are a very emotional thing. If she advertises mobile phones people wouldn't mind. But we want to share our feelings with another human. Not with a group of experts who tinker in a basement to make the perfect, obedient, artificial girl.
