I am watching the 2020 WCIF and they just said "our first segment is titled Kpop and Culture Universe"
THERE'S A LOT OF IRONY AND A LACK OF SELF AWARENESS HERE

so all the important ministers and head of WCIF just finished talking about stuff like COVID and culture and kpop and Parasite and all that

SUPERM is performing at WCIF soon

SuperM have sent this clip to the WCIF

Oh so by "SuperM is performing", WCIF meant they were playing SuperM's Better Days performance for WHO

I forgot how much I loved this performance

Online panel discussions coming up, 1st keynote speaker is Lee Sooman

Lee Sooman just listed all the speakers for the forum, listing Baekhyun and Johnny

Lee Sooman is talking about COVID and how he had to think fast in the wake of the sudden pandemic and create BeyondLIVE

He sounds so proud of himself (cant blame him I'd be proud to be the first to create a cool AR online concert too)

Lee Sooman is talking about how he created CT (Culture Technology) and started the Hallyu Wave

this is interesting, it really is, but I have a lot of stuff to do how long before Johnny speaks (he was listed last so it might be a while ) I dont wanna miss what he has to say

he is talking about how he created the first holographic musical performance with SNSD, TVXQ, EXO, etc...

Omg when we said SM multiverse and Avengers of Kpop and all that, I didnt expect Lee Sooman to actually acknowledge that he is trying to create his own SM universe

he mentioned NCT127 when talking about BEYONDLIVE and AR technology

No wonder Lee Sooman sounds so proud of himself, if I started something like this I would never shut up

LSM just mentioned that he set the BeyondLIVE concerts at 3PM KST with LA and France time zones in mind

BEYONDLive concert pics

SM has partnered with JYP (that's why the BEYONDLIVE are happening with JYP artists)

HE IS PLANNING TO USE AI!!!

LEE SOOMAN IS PLANNING TO USE ADVANCED INTELLIGENCE TO CREATE IDOL AVATARS FOR US TO OWN

he's a genius but I am convinced he is also insane

AESPA are the starters of this AI AVATAR development

my phone suddenly shut down and crashed on me lolsssss I must have missed a whole ton of info damn

Yoo Jimin (Karina from AESPA) gave us a visual of what the concept is like

PS idk if I misunderstood or worded this the right way or not, but from what I heard LSM is trying to create AI versions of idols to personalise fan experience https://twitter.com/Wanzi_G/status/1321266780665380864?s=19

finally got my live stream back up, Steve Barnett director of Capitol is talking about kpop and now the screen is showing all of NCT127's achievement like charting and sales and the NEO CITY tour and NEO ZONE

damn NCT127's achievements went on for a while

they are talking about SuperM now

El/len

SuperM on ALL THAT lmfao

yes list all those achievements SUPERM KINGS wbk

Steve Barnett is done speaking

Baekhyun, panelist for WCIF 2020

the panel is starting

"the most representative artist, BAEKHYUN" the moderator is listing Baek's achievements and records he's broken and created

Baekhyun is speaking but I'm watching the live english translation so I cant hear his voice, just the female translator's words

He is talking about his solo album and EXO and SuperM and how proud he is to chart and garner interest from fans around the world

and how dedicated he is to his music and bow he wants to make us very happy with his music

*how not bow lmfao

Steve Barnett is talking about SuperM and how proud he is of their creation and music and success, and how their success reminds him of the hype that was created back in the day by The Beatles
