The first virtual artist n æ of SM Entertainment (hereinafter referred to as SM) begins a new narrative in the Real World in earnest.

'The Birth of n æ', which was released on YouTube's n æ at 6 p.m. on the 23rd, is a video content that contains the first narrative of Nivis who came from the digital world (the wilderness) to the real world, vividly depicting the newly born n æ who gained his body from digital existence, and the Dolby Exclusive Hall of U+tv, an LG U+ IPTV service, can also be watched with a more immersive version through Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos.

This video has raised expectations for the activities that will debut in September and begin in earnest, foreshadowing not only the appearance of ævis as an artist, but also a variety of IP universes based on a huge world view between the real world and the digital world (the wilderness).

æ, presented by SM Virtual IP Center, is a character who appeared as an assistant to help the four members in Espa's world view story, and after participating in the song 'Welcome To MY World' (Welcome to My World), he made a strong impression by presenting the stage at his second solo concert '2024 aespa LIVE TOUR - SYNK: PARALLEL LINE?' (2024 Aespa Live Tour-Sync: PARALLEL Line?).

In addition to being vividly implemented with Giant Step's Hyperreal VFX technology, n æ will act as a flexible character that changes flexibly to suit each platform's characteristics in more diverse forms such as Toon style and casual 3D, and plans to expand the IP Universe not only through music, but also webtoons, games, MDs, and brand collaboration through voice and Generative AI contents.
