Galaxy Corporation Seeks Next Virtual K-Pop Sensation at L.A. Auditions
LOS ANGELES - In a bid to revolutionize the music industry, Galaxy Corporation held auditions for its next virtual K-pop group at the El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles on September 8, 2025. The company's ambitious project aims to create a digital idol that can perform and interact with fans in real-time, marking another step forward in the industry's experimentation with digital idols.
The auditions drew a diverse pool of talented performers, all vying for a chance to become part of Galaxy Corporation's virtual group. "We're looking for individuals who not only have exceptional singing and dancing skills but also possess charisma and stage presence," said Lee Min-ji, Galaxy Corporation's creative director. "Our goal is to create a digital idol that can connect with fans on a deeper level, blurring the lines between reality and fantasy."
Galaxy Corporation's auditions come at a time when virtual idols are gaining popularity worldwide. The company's current roster includes notable clients such as G-Dragon, Song Kang-ho (Parasite), and Kim Jong-kook. Their production credits also include the Netflix breakout reality competition Physical: 100, which has spawned several spin-offs.
The concept of virtual K-pop groups is not new, with companies like HUNTR/X and Saja Boys of KPop Demon Hunters already making waves in the industry. However, Galaxy Corporation's auditions seem to have fallen at the perfect time, capitalizing on the growing interest in digital entertainment.
"We're witnessing a seismic shift in the music industry, where technology is no longer just an enabler but a key driver of creativity," said Dr. Kim Sang-ho, a leading expert in virtual reality and AI-powered entertainment. "Galaxy Corporation's auditions are a testament to this trend, pushing the boundaries of what we consider 'music' and 'performance'."
The next step for Galaxy Corporation is to select the final members of its virtual group, who will undergo extensive training to develop their digital personas. The company plans to release its first virtual idol in early 2026, with a global tour scheduled for later that year.
As the music industry continues to evolve, one thing is certain: the future of entertainment is increasingly digital. With Galaxy Corporation's auditions marking another milestone in this journey, it will be exciting to see how this new frontier unfolds.
