GISELLE admitted, “I think the business savvy side of us was a little more like, ‘Okay, I see it’s kinda – it’s gonna do well’ in terms of business. But for us, as human beings, to have a concept of artificial intelligence was difficult at first.”
KARINA added, “It was very unfamiliar and hard to understand just as it was for the entire public.”
Since their debut, the girls have are known for popularizing the metaverse concept and hyperpop music in K-pop.
“It was definitely an attention-grabbing moment for us to debut as this new powerful girl group,” WINTER continued. “And honestly, we didn’t know the company would all join in on this ‘worldview’ and make this like an SM Culture Universe. So we were surprised that we were the gateway for all of the other members and the artists to join in for this worldview and SM concept.”
