“President Bae, with the rise of the virtual universe, do you think the idol industry will decline?”
“Absolutely not.”
In 2050, the president of SM Entertainment gave the camera his most resolute answer.
That answer later became a famous joke of its era.
By 2077, AI had taken over the entertainment industry. South Korea's entertainment companies were reshuffled, and the decline of idols seemed inevitable.
Gong Yingyue knew this better than anyone. That year, her company put her on the shelf, her girl group disbanded, and her life seemed to have reached a dead end.
Then one day, she realized there was something off about the cheap AI maid in her home.
“Xiao Ai, isn't it infuriating? Someone even took the chance to mock me to my face when I quit.”
The next day, the colleague who had badmouthed her was bullied by a robot that had rebelled in their home.
“Xiao Ai, I used to dream of going to the moon when I was a kid.”
The civilian lunar program was launched, and a rocket took off the following month.
“Cheer on my precious fans. You have to win that award!”
The judges' comments were altered, and the winner of a national literary award was decided in advance.
At the award ceremony, the youngest recipient of the Wenxin Prize said, “Um, could you vote for my idol?”
In the future, could a Chinese girl revive the idol industry and become the final ruler of K-pop?
It doesn't seem impossible.
This is an entertainment-industry novel unlike any you've seen before: one girl and one AI, taking on top-tier stars and kicking capitalists to the curb!
