Singer G-Dragon(Kwon Ji-yong) is taking on the challenge of transmitting his own music and a music video produced with Microsoft using Azure OpenAI’s Sora, together with AI entertainment company Galaxy Corporation and KAIST, into space. This attempt by G-Dragon, who is also a visiting professor at KAIST’s Department of Mechanical Engineering, is expected to become a future milestone for ‘entertech’ that encompasses space science, AI, and the entertainment field.

The ‘G-Dragon Space Sound Source Transmission Project ‘, which will be held at 8 PM on the 9th at KAIST Space Research Institute, is a collaboration between Galaxy Corporation and KAIST that contains the future of entertainment technology that transcends time and space. It is evaluated as an artistic experiment that goes beyond a simple musical attempt and permanently preserves human culture in space and attempts communication with other civilizations.

This transmission is linked to NASA’ s ‘Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence’(SETI) project. SETI is a historic project that transmitted the music of the British rock band The Beatles into space, and G-Dragon’s space sound source transmission project is South Korea’s first SETI project.

Galaxy Corporation has been building a partnership with KAIST since last year, and plans to lead the future entertainment industry through the convergence of entertainment and technology that transcends time and space. Recently, it held a private meeting with Microsoft(MS) CEO Nadella as the only entertainment technology company, and is actively promoting the globalization of AI entertainment technology.
