Recently, the Korean entertainment industry has seen new attempts utilizing AI technology, with SBS 'Running Man' drawing significant attention for a mission where Yoo Jae Suk and Kim Jong Kook's teams directly created songs and performed stages using an AI composition program. This went beyond merely using AI as an amusing tool, applying it to actual creative processes and fostering competition, capturing viewers' interest.
The 'Irrefutable AI Pick' special of 'Running Man' featured the AI composition program 'Suno'. Yoo Jae Suk's team experimented with various genres, such as retro dance, trot, and new jack swing, by continuously modifying prompts for the AI, and incorporated guest Miyeon's input to complete their song and performance. Kim Jong Kook's team, comprising members with singing experience, also prepared a performance-focused stage, though their dance practice moments of disunity provided comedic relief.
Bloggers expressed surprise at Suno AI's capability to generate original songs with vocals, lyrics, and complete production within a minute, solely from text prompts. They noted that the program's support for diverse genres and voice customization features enabled the cast members to make creative attempts in the show, concluding that AI is lowering the barrier to music creation while offering new forms of entertainment.
