South Korea has always excelled at blending technology and culture.
Hologram K-pop performances, esports arenas that feel like full concerts, and immersive entertainment formats all highlight the country’s innovative spirit.
Today, Korean media is entering another major shift — one powered by text-to-speech (TTS) and AI-generated voices.
Why text-to-speech, and why now?
Content is being created at an unprecedented speed.
But the bigger challenge is how quickly content becomes outdated.
Meanwhile:
Short-form videos dominate
Many viewers prefer listening over reading subtitles
Major platforms continue going global
Together, these trends are making text-to-speech a core part of modern media workflows.
AI News Anchors: A New Chapter for Broadcasting
In 2020, Korean broadcaster MBN introduced an AI version of journalist Kim Ju-ha.
Her appearance and voice were natural enough to make viewers look twice.
Why are broadcasters adopting AI voice technology?
Benefits of AI News Anchors
Consistency: No mistakes, fatigue, or tone shifts
Speed: Instant delivery of breaking news
Efficiency: One trained voice model → multiple languages
TTS isn’t replacing journalists — it’s extending the reach of the newsroom.
Virtual Idols and Influencers Are Going Mainstream
Korea now has AI-powered digital celebrities who function much like human influencers.
A well-known example is Rozy, who appears in high-profile brand campaigns and maintains a large online following.
Their appeal includes:
Always being “on”
Synthetic voices capable of conveying emotion
No physical or scheduling limitations
Ability to communicate in multiple languages using text-to-speech
These figures blur the line between digital and human entertainment.
The Question of Voice Ownership
As TTS technology advances, important ethical questions arise:
How is voice data collected and used?
What if an AI voice closely resembles a real person?
Should the voice of a deceased artist be recreated?
This leads naturally to the issue of voice ownership.
If an AI can reproduce someone’s voice, who holds the rights — the person or the company?
Consent will play a critical role in the future of voice technology.
Curiosity vs. the Uncanny Valley
Some people are fascinated by AI voices, while others feel slightly uneasy — a reaction tied to the uncanny valley.
Still, curiosity often wins.
Many fans now follow both AI personalities and human creators, observing how technology reshapes pop culture.
AI Video Translation Makes Global Reach Easier
With text-to-speech combined with accurate AI lip-sync,
Korean creators can now reach international audiences instantly.
A single video can speak:
without the creator recording multiple versions.
Where Perso AI Fits In
As TTS becomes mainstream, Perso AI offers a simple, intuitive platform
that helps creators, brands, and media teams adopt this technology quickly.

Perso AI helps creators expand globally
while staying true to their voice and personality.
The Future of text-to-speech in Korea

With tools like Perso AI, anyone can create content once and
communicate it across multiple languages, naturally and instantly.

speak to the world with a single piece of content.
