Woozi 'SEVENTEEN's song AI wrote and composed' BBC report rebuttal 'Man created'
Seventeen Woo-ji immediately refuted the AI songwriting theory.

Woozi said on the 14th that `All music of Seventeen is written and composed by human creators.'

Recently, the BBC reported that K-pop's artificial intelligence (AI) writing and composing problems divide fans. In the report, the BBC said that `SEVENTEEN and other famous stars use AI technology to produce music videos and write lyrics.', adding that there are AI-assisted scenes and lyrics in SEVENTEEN's song 'Maestro'.

For that reason, the BBC conducted an experiment with AI at a press conference commemorating the release of Seventeen's best album in April. I practiced making songs using AI. I heard him say, `Because I want to advance with technology rather than complain about it.'

In the meantime, the BBC said "If it's an album full of lyrics that the members didn't write, I don't know if you'll feel like SEVENTEEN anymore." Fans truly want Seventeen-like music."

Although Woozi did not say that he made the song using AI, it seems that misinformation came out by arbitrarily interpreting it. In addition, the music video AI creation scene mentioned by the BBC was only shown in the teaser, to show the setting of the music video story that state-of-the-art technology creates art on behalf of humans.

However, in response to Woozi's counterargument, the BBC added only "However, since then, Woozi has been controversial by adding on Instagram that "SEVENTEEN's music is written and composed by human creators"

In response, Pledis Entertainment also said, `It is not true that AI was used in the lyrics of Seventeen songs. We conveyed our position to correct the contents to the foreign media who reported the contents.
