(Internal and external broadcast = Announcer Jeong Ji-won/Editor Choi Seong-yeol PD) Cultural news that will heat up the week! Hello, this is announcer Jung Ji-won.
The keywords that will heat up the week are ‘AI Profile’ and ‘Concrete Utopia’.
1. How amazing is the popularity of ‘AI profiles’ made with selfies?
A while ago, I contacted a friend who changed his SNS profile saying, “The picture came out great.”
My friend replied, “Isn’t it? But it was made by AI.”
The friend used the ‘AI profile service’ introduced in May by Naver’s subsidiary photo editing app ‘Snow’.
If you input about 20 face photos, AI creates 30 profile photos in various styles.
You can see yourself dressed up with various hair styles and fashions as if you were taken in a photo studio.
Celebrities also post AI profiles through social media, and even change genders to entertain fans.
It is said that the sales of this service are growing remarkably because it can recognize not only one’s own face but also the image of the second generation of the future.
Looking at the monthly sales trend of Snow recently released by data analysis company Sensor Tower, the sales in June and July were $7.3 million and $3.5 million, respectively, which is about 15 billion won in Korean currency.
In particular, since 61.6% of users are Koreans, it can be said that ‘AI profiles’ are a trend in Korea.
However, since it is a profile that I make with pictures I like, there may be side effects that other people may say, “Who are you?”
2. ‘Concrete Utopia’ challenges the US Academy
‘Concrete Utopia’, a film depicting people united for survival, challenges the Academy Awards.
The Korean Film Council recently announced that “Concrete Utopia” was selected as an entry for the “96th American Academy Film Awards International Feature Film Division” to be held in March next year with the unanimous vote of the judges.
Only one film can be submitted per country in this category, and last year, director Park Chan-wook’s ‘Decision to Break Up’ was selected.
The judges said, “Apartment is the most Korean thing that symbolizes wealth and class, and it well revealed the various desires of the characters struggling for survival since only the Imperial Palace Apartment, an apartment for the common people, remained intact.”
Also, it features ordinary people rather than heroes, and it deals with the topic of class that can be seen in the movie ‘Parasite’, so the ending is worthwhile.
‘Concrete Utopia’ is a story of conflicts for survival as people flock to an imperial palace apartment that was the only one in Seoul that was left in ruins after a major earthquake. perform passionately.
It would be good to look forward to seeing if ‘Concrete Utopia’ can become the second film to win the Academy Award for International Feature Film, following ‘Parasite’.
This is the cultural news that will heat up the week. See you again in the next video~
