MEET48 Unveils AI + Web3 Entertainment Future at 2026 Roadshow in Seoul

MEET48, the Web3-native idol fan ecosystem, has officially kicked off its 2026 campaign with a major strategic showcase in South Korea. The company successfully held its "2026 Annual Roadshow For AI Entertainment UGC Platform & Web3.0 Strategy" on December 26, 2025, at the Mayfield Hotel in Seoul, unveiling a suite of products designed to merge artificial intelligence with pop culture.

The event, which drew industry heavyweights and partners including BNB Chain, Hash Global, and Zanybros, served as a launchpad for MEET48’s ambitious goal: to lead the global "AI + Web3" entertainment industry by giving fans the tools to become creators.

The "AI Co-Creator" Era
The core theme of the roadshow was the shift from passive consumption to active creation. MEET48 executives argued that the future of entertainment lies in the "AI Co-Creator" model, where fans use generative AI to build the virtual idols and content they consume.

To support this vision, the company unveiled a roadmap of key products scheduled for release in the first half of 2026:

ParoAI: The ecosystem's new core Large Language Model (LLM). Unlike standard chatbots, ParoAI is designed to understand creative intent, allowing users to generate complex multimodal content—such as storylines, character personalities, and interactive experiences—without needing technical coding skills.

Auditions GO: A highly anticipated "AIUGC" simulation game. Developed by the original team behind the hit game Audition, this new title focuses on virtual idol music and dance development, integrating AI to allow players to train and customize their digital stars.

POChain: A dedicated Layer 1 blockchain built for digital content creators. This infrastructure aims to solve the ownership problem in the AI era, ensuring that user-generated content (UGC) is authenticated and monetized transparently on-chain.

Strategic Alliances with K-Pop Giants
Recognizing Seoul’s status as a global entertainment hub, MEET48 used the event to cement ties with major Korean players. The company signed a "Strategic Cooperation Declaration" with Zanybros, a legendary video production house known for K-Pop music videos, and Gaudio Lab, a leader in AI audio technology.

"We are building a two-way bridge between the massive Chinese and Korean entertainment markets," said a MEET48 spokesperson during the signing ceremony. "By combining our Web3 infrastructure with Korean content expertise, we are creating a borderless network for virtual idols."

Metrics and Momentum
The roadshow comes amidst a period of rapid growth for the platform. Data shared at the event revealed that MEET48’s decentralized app (dApp) recorded over 1.07 million transactions in the last 30 days alone, with nearly 800,000 active user addresses, signaling strong adoption ahead of its 2026 product rollout.
