Will K-pop's AI experiment pay off?
The claims made in the BBC article titled 'Will K-pop's AI experiment pay off?' have sparked significant controversy among fans of the K-pop group Seventeen. The article suggested that Seventeen's recent album 'Maestro' features AI-generated scenes and implied that the group is using AI to create music and write lyrics. However, Woozi, a member and producer of Seventeen, refuted these claims on his Instagram, stating that all of Seventeen's music is written and composed by human creators. PLEDIS Entertainment, Seventeen's management agency, also confirmed that AI was not used for the lyrics of Seventeen's songs. This has led to outrage among fans, who have demanded an apology from the BBC, accusing the outlet of not taking the band and its fans seriously. The BBC article was later updated to include Woozi's clarification. The controversy highlights the sensitivity around the use of AI in music production and the importance of accurate reporting.
