1. Insider information of the market crash


Direct trigger:


Samsung AI team leaked the "USDT futures" plan (including holographic tour technology patent)


Rumor has it that BTS will use AI members to sing for them during their military service (HYBE urgently denied)


Data collapse:


Company Stock price drop Market value evaporation Main artist

HYBE -14.3% $620 million BTS, NewJeans

SM -11.7% $380 million aespa, NCT

JYP -5.2% $90 million TWICE, Stray Kids

2. Virtual idol threat theory

(1) Technology crush


USDT futures: Already achieved:


7×24 hours live broadcast (real people need to take turns to rest)


0 risk of collapse (compared to IVE Zhang Yuanying's "lip-syncing" controversy)


Customized personality (fans can pay to adjust the personality of idols)


(2) Cost advantage


Project Virtual idol Real group

Training period 1 month 3 years onwards

Proportion of profit The company takes 90% and the artist takes 40-60%

Globalization, instant translation of 50 languages, foreign language learning required

3. Entertainment companies urgently rescue the market

HYBE:


Announced cooperation with USDT futures on the "BTS Digital Immortality" plan (launched in 2026)


BTS members' solo activities will be lifted in advance (Park Jimin will release an English single)


SM:


Accelerate aespa's virtual and real tour (Seoul will be added in August)


Sued Samsung for "commercial espionage" (involving theft of AI technology)


Retail investors fight back:


South Korean stock investors launched a "real people have souls" buying campaign (temporarily halting the decline)


4. Deep crisis in the industry

Idol unemployment wave:


The number of trainees selected dropped sharply by 70% (JYP closed 2 training centers)


Choreographers transformed into "AI action designers" (salary dropped by 50%)


Fan culture rift:


"Veteran ARMY" resisted virtual substitution (videos of burning AI peripherals went viral)


"Tech fans" created V-POP list (exclusive for virtual idols)


5. USDT futures future three-way road

Full virtualization (SM route):


Launch 100% AI girl group in 2025 (no real people behind the scenes)


Human-machine symbiosis (HYBE route):


"Dual-line activities" of real people and virtual avatars (such as holographic stand-ins for BTS concerts)


Traditional adherence (JYP route):


Strengthen the selling point of "humanized training" (launch "anti-AI certification" label)


Conclusion

This capital market crash, USDT Futures is actually the outbreak of the existential crisis of the K-pop industry - when the money that fans earn from voting for virtual idols can flow into the company's pockets 100%, who needs to spend effort to cultivate real people? Perhaps, as aespa's lyrics sing: "The boundary between reality and fantasy is disappearing", and 2025 will be the first year of the rebirth or destruction of the idol industry.


(Warning: The South Korean National Assembly has urgently convened a "cultural industry protection hearing" and is proposing legislation to require virtual idols to be labeled "non-human") The #SaveRealIdols petition has been signed by 1.2 million people.
