There is a new actress that is garnering more attention than any other actress in the entertainment business these days. This is because this actress does not exist in real life.

Dexter Studios, a visual special effects (VFX) content company, will start the virtual human business in earnest by having one of the virtual humans appear in a web drama developed by Dexter Studios. Starting with this, they plan to promote various virtual human projects. It is predicted that it will not be long before the virtual humans, who have been active mainly on social network services, reveal their faces in drama content one by one.

Dexter Studios announced on the 27th that its virtual human female 'Min Ji Oh' appeared in the web drama 'Bad Girlfriend' of Why Not Media.

Min Ji Oh is a virtual human created through AI (artificial intelligence) by Nest ENT, an affiliate of Dexter's Virtual Human Project. She is a character with soft features and is an aspiring actress who dreams of becoming an actress while working part-time as a fitting model for a clothing brand.


An official from Dexter Studio said, “Min Ji Oh went directly to Why Not Media to hand in her profile, and the process was also recorded on Instagram."

According to the industry,  various virtual humans are appearing in drama content this year in addition to Min Ji Oh. In February of this year, Sidus Studio X's virtual human 'Rozy' appeared as a cameo in the TVing drama 'Dr. Park's Clinic' and Pulse Nine's virtual human 'Jane' appeared as a supporting character in the web drama 'Hello Share' in April. 

In the industry, it is believed that the day will not be long before virtual human celebrities will be able to work together with 'real life' celebrities as virtual human production technology develops. Dexter also plans to promote various virtual human businesses, including general management businesses, starting with Min Ji Oh.

Are you a multi-billion dollar media conglomerate that's tired of paying actors a tiny fraction of the fortune you make from a successful drama or film? Well, boy, do we have the thing for you.
