- Bibimb, a real-time content company, is holding a virtual idol audition to discover new idols and provide opportunities to thrive in the virtual world.
- This audition is conducted based on Bibimb's streaming platform and Vtuber solution. Successful candidates will receive debut music releases, music video filming, and broadcast support.
- Especially, the blind audition process protects the personal information of applicants and enhances fairness through objective evaluation.
'Bibimb', a real-content company that fuses technology and culture, will start a virtual idol audition from September 14th. This audition is based on the streaming platform and VTuber solution operated by Bibimb, and aims to discover new idols who will be active in the virtual world.
Bibimb is a company that has launched and is operating 'Bicus', a streamer content platform, and 'Virtudio', a metahuman framework-based solution that allows anyone to easily become a 3D VTuber. Based on this, it focuses on producing realistic streaming broadcast content, and this audition was also planned based on its technical capabilities.
This virtual idol audition will accept applications from September 14th to 29th, and successful candidates will have the opportunity to debut as a new semi-realistic virtual idol following popular virtual idol groups, Playbe and Isekai Idol. Successful candidates will receive support for music release, debut music video filming, and various internet broadcasts, and will be making their debut stage on JTBC in December, drawing great expectations.
There are no restrictions on age or appearance for the recruitment targets, and anyone who can wear a motion capture suit and has no disqualifications for traveling abroad can apply. However, it is only for those who are not under contract with any other company and can immediately start activities. This reflects Bibimb's intention to discover a wide range of talents through open application requirements.
In particular, this audition will be conducted in a blind manner, not collecting personal information of applicants from the beginning. Applicants do not need to reveal their real faces, and they can use virtual programs or AR apps to cover their faces in their singing videos or introductions. This minimizes the risk of personal information leaks and strengthens the fairness of the audition process. This is a unique attempt by Bibimb that differentiates it from existing audition methods.
A Bibimb official said, “This virtual idol audition will be an invaluable opportunity for those who want to showcase their talents through virtual avatars. We expect a great synergy effect with Bibimb's technical know-how and JTBC's broadcast support."
Audition applications and related information can be found on the Bibimb virtual audition application website. This audition is part of the 'Metaverse Leading Project' support project hosted by the Ministry of Science and ICT, and is supported by the Radio and Communication Development Fund. Through this, Bibimb is expected to establish itself as a leading company in the virtual idol market.
This audition is expected to be a significant opportunity to build a new form of idol culture in the virtual world, especially for those who are exploring the possibilities of the virtual world. Participants will be able to pioneer a new path beyond the boundaries of the traditional idol industry based on Bibimb's technical capabilities and creativity.
