[Dispatch=Yuha Reporter] AI artist 'Moomur' is creating a sensation on domestic music charts.
Moomur's "Did I Become the Adult I Dreamed Of?" rose to No. 2 on Melon's 'Top 100' as of 10 a.m. on the 29th. It has maintained an upward trend following a viral resurgence in September.
It gained popularity centered on SNS. It became popular through use as background music in various short-form videos. Previously, it also recorded No. 1 on real-time charts on Genie and Bugs.
"Did I Become the Adult I Dreamed Of?" is a track produced with AI. It is not an actual singer's song. It was completed using the music-generating AI service 'Suno'.
Natural vocals captivate the ear. There is no mechanized tone or unnatural pronunciation characteristic of some AI music. It is marked by an emotional voice that sounds like an actual singer performed it.
Composer Glorywave (Lee Yong-seok, Choi Sung-hyuk) participated in the production process. They handled planning, lyrics, and overall producing. They directly designed the direction and emotional line of the song.
However, it is not registered with the Korea Music Copyright Association. No royalties are generated from lyrics, composition, and arrangement. Sound source distribution revenue is reportedly settled separately.
Meanwhile, "Did I Become the Adult I Dreamed Of?" is a ballad released in June. It expresses concerns and anxiety encountered after growing up, and the gap between childhood dreams and reality.
