[ 매드타임스 최영호 기자] The impact on the virtual influencer market, especially the market, was quite significant. Virtual influencers have no risks due to privacy controversies such as drunk driving or school violence, and there are no restrictions because they are literally ‘virtual humans’. It is possible to be active 24 hours a day, overcome the limitations of location, and have no physical limitations. However, at some point, the number of companies looking for virtual influencers decreased. Why? As the novelty of virtual humans pouring out has disappeared, their appeal has disappeared. There is no reason to look for a virtual influencer because there is no story to create following novelty, no human connection, etc.
However, a virtual influencer appeared who was becoming more and more popular. This is the virtual girl group “MAVE: )”. Maeve, who debuted in January of this year, is being evaluated as ‘the new icon of K-pop’ and ‘the future of the metaverse’ by domestic and international media. The reason is relationships with people. People are singing along to Maeve’s song and dancing along. The fandom consumes Maeve’s content like other K-pop idols and awaits her return.
Maeve, who is expanding the new realm of virtual influencers, was selected as a public relations ambassador for the virtual influencer category at “AdAsia 2023 Seoul” held in Seoul in October. This is because Maeve is expected to not only provide a view of the trendiest IT industry, but also best demonstrate the and marketing industry where humanism and tech can become one.
