 'AI Cover?' I'll sing it for you. 'Espa Winter, Main Vocal Speech' 'Cheering Water'



Group Espa Winter is being applauded for his remarks on AI cover.

Winter was asked questions about AI covers, which have recently become popular online, during a live broadcast on the 30th. Winter joked that `AI said it was a bad thing,' but `I'll just call it out for you. Except for those who don't know, Lee Seung-cheol 'Western Sky', Baek Ji-young 'I don't love you', BEAST 'On a Rainy Day', IU 'Lovely', Taeyang 'Eye Nose Mouth', TVXQ 'Jumun', Taeyeon 'Taeyeon 'Too X'.

Recently, an AI cover song created by AI by learning the voice of a singer is gaining popularity online. Many showed interest in that they could enjoy a similar feeling even if they were not sung by actual singers, such as New Jeans sung by AI Bruno Mars, IU sung by AI Lim Jae-beom, IU sung by AI IU, and Bamyanggang.



However, such content is controversial due to copyright issues. Both the original author, who was processed without consent, and the singer whose voice was used without permission will be deprived of time, effort, and talent.

Real artists are also showing their displeasure.



Jang Yoon-jung said in March "Why would a singer record?" You can turn the AI with your voice and sell the sound source."

Park Myung-soo also said "It doesn't matter if you're doing it for fun, but isn't it a little weird to sell it?" Bad humans who phishing voice may use AI voices. We need to come up with countermeasures against this problem."



Overseas, more than 200 famous singers, including Billie Eilish and Katy Perry, should prevent the predatory use of AI that steals artists' voices" has signed an open letter to the Union of Artists' Rights.

Amid such growing awareness of AI covers, Winter's remarks of conviction surprised many fans. In particular, his behavior of singing directly with an unrivaled tone shows that `AI cannot keep up with the artist's unique talents and values,' leading to even greater support.

Espa, which Winter belongs to, will meet fans in a total of 14 regions in Asia and Australia, including Hong Kong, Taipei, Tokyo, Jakarta, Sydney, Melbourne, Macau and Bangkok, after performing in Fukoka, Japan on the 31st.
