SEVENTEEN's Woozi denied the allegations of 'AI songwriting'.
On the 14th, Woozi posted a short message on his social account, saying, "All of SEVENTEEN's music is written and composed by human creators."
This is a rebuttal to the BBC report that AI technology was included in some K-pop stars' songs and music videos. On the 11th (local time), the British BBC reported under the title “Can K-pop’s AI experiment, from music video production to lyric writing, succeed?” that K-pop stars, including SEVENTEEN, are using AI technology to create songs and even produce music videos. A report was released saying that it was being done.
The BBC claims that the music video for SEVENTEEN's new song 'Maestro' features AI-generated scenes and that the lyrics were also helped by AI. At the press conference for 'SEVENTEEN Is Right Here', which includes 'Maestro', member and producer Woozi said, "AI He added, based on his statement, “I practiced making songs using , because I wanted to develop with technology rather than complaining about it,” but this is an incorrect interpretation.
At the time, Woozi said he had a lot of concerns about how to protect his unique identity amidst advancing technology, and made it clear that the AI experiment was also a process to find pros and cons.
The agency also moved immediately to prevent the spread of rumors. Pledis Entertainment, SEVENTEEN's agency, said, "The content that AI was used in the lyrics of SEVENTEEN's songs is not true, and we have conveyed our position to the media that reported the content to correct the content."
Meanwhile, SEVENTEEN, to which Woozi belongs, will hold a fan meeting '2024 SVT 8TH Fan Meeting SEVENTEEN in Carat Land' at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul on the 23rd and 24th.
