One Ordinary Day actor Kim Soo Hyun will be turned into a 3D digital person.

On December 21 KST, Gold Medalist Entertainment announced plans to boost Kim Soo Hyun's digital human business with EVR Studio, a digital content development company.

Digital humans are virtual humans with the appearance and facial emotions of actual people that are implemented in 3D. The first step in anticipating the next-generation media market will be taken by developing actor Kim Soo Hyun as a digital human, and it will most likely be employed in many industries such as entertainment, metabuses, films, and commercials in the future.

Unlike current digital humans, which do not modify their appearance, Kim Soo Hyun's digital human intends to be made by people of various ages. Kim Soo Hyun's synthetic human will replicate the physical changes that occur in real humans, such as in the skin, muscles, and voice, using EVR Studio's hyperrealistic digital expression technology.

"As the digital human market grows rapidly, digital portrait rights, along with digital content IP, will become important keywords in various industries that can use digital humans," a representative from Gold Medalist said. "The digital human of the artist will entertain the public with a different charm than the virtual human."
