In 2007, Japan's virtual idol Hatsune Miku debuted with
synthesized voice technology, establishing the UGC model in the
virtual idol industry. By 2012, her success led to the rise of more
virtual idols, with organizations like Japan’s Hololive and Korea’s
PLAVE adopting the PGC model, using motion capture and real-time
rendering.
However, the PGC model faces challenges like high costs, slow
content creation, and limited creativity. In contrast, AI, the
Metaverse, and Web3 technologies offer a new approach by
emphasizing UGC. This shift allows users more freedom to create and
share content, leading to a more open and inclusive virtual idol
ecosystem.
MEET48 exemplifies this new direction, integrating these
technologies to foster user participation and creativity.
MEET48: Disrupting Traditional Virtual
Idols
Although MEET48 might be new to some, its connection to the
well-known SNH48 girl group highlights its potential. SNH48's
annual election earned 110 million RMB, showing the strong bond
between fans and idols. MEET48 adopts the successful '48 Group
idols' model, allowing fans to actively participate in idol growth,
fostering a cohesive fan culture and yielding high returns with
minimal investment.

MEET48 has made significant strides in the Web3 industry,
including renting a street in Hong Kong's Lan Kwai Fong for
promotion. The project expanded its ecosystem with initiatives like
the CoinIdols airdrop on TON and the CoinFish project, aiming to
attract idol culture fans through various channels.

AI + UGC Creates a New Era of Virtual Idol
Prosperity
AI-generated content is essential for overcoming industry
challenges faced by virtual humans, as inconsistent content and
high production costs hinder their growth. For instance, Lehua
Entertainment spent 30 million yuan on ByteDance's technology to
revive its A-SOUL group.
MEET48 leverages a self-developed multimodal large model to
train virtual humans in music and dance, offering AI tools and MaaS
editors for easy creation, demonstrating its core competitiveness.
MEET48's COO mentioned their model is trained on 500TB of data,
nearly 1,000 times more than the 570GB used for GPT-3, showcasing
MEET48's extensive data resources.
No similar vertical large model exists in the market; MEET48 has
developed IdolGPT and SRMBuilder , allowing users
to generate virtual idols from photos and create songs and dance
moves via text input.
MEET48
is launching a next-gen virtual idol UGC community that merges
virtual human and AIGC music and dance technology with MaaS
services, spanning Web2.0 and Web3.0. It offers tools and resources
for UGC and PGC creators, while supporting UGA and PGA content
creation. MEET48's social metaverse fosters Web3.0-native virtual
humans and real idols.
With over 24,000 UGC videos uploaded and more than 10 million
views, MEET48's fan-driven UGC system is thriving. Fans can become
'idol creators' and 'partners,' realizing their idol dreams in the
MEET48 metaverse.
WEB3 + Fan Economy: New Hope for Mass
Adoption
The Web3 industry needs a 'killer app' for mass adoption, with
many protocols hitting growth ceilings around 100,000 users.
MEET48, leveraging SNH48 Group's 30 million fan base, has the
potential to break this ceiling. If just 1% of these fans become
active users, MEET48 could dominate the Web3 market. With 50,000
daily active users, mass adoption is within reach.
MEET48's Web3 platform and wallet feature a transparent,
on-chain voting system. Fans earn points through activities,
exchangeable for NFT voting tickets, ensuring transparency and
immutability. The Dapp ranks first in DappBay's social category,
with over 3 million registered users for the '2024 GIPR2' voting
event, revolutionizing traditional voting with blockchain-recorded
fan support.
In 2025, MEET48 plans to integrate SNH48 idols and host a global
idol voting event in Hong Kong, merging virtual and real idols and
marking a new era in the idol industry.
Recently,
MEET48 expanded internationally by establishing offices in Japan.
On August 27th, MEET48 will co-host the WebX official opening
party, featuring SNH48 and popular Japanese idols.
On September 4th, MEET48 will sponsor SNH48's TOP16 Tokyo
tour, promoting its global virtual idol and Web3
strategy.
Additionally,
MEET48 will co-host the "Back To The Streets" event
in Singapore during Token2049 on September 18th and participate as
a platinum sponsor, underscoring its role in the Web3
ecosystem.
By
leveraging Web3 and AI, MEET48 is poised to disrupt the
entertainment industry. In the near future, user-created virtual
idols will compete in voting contests to become top idols,
eventually sharing the stage with real idols in a metaverse that
blends the virtual and real worlds.
