[TV Daily Kim Jin-seok Reporter] GRIM Production, a subculture label, has announced the hosting of 'Virtual On-Live 2', a vocal competition for virtual idols, scheduled for March 7.
This event is a follow-up to last year's inaugural 'Virtual On-Live!', which saw around 100 streamers compete, resulting in the formation of new units and the official release of their music. The competition generated buzz with cash prizes of 1 million KRW awarded to participants.
Notably, this season will expand beyond the previous format, utilizing live streaming platforms like SOOP and YouTube, creating a music festival that emphasizes vocal talent and artistry. Participants will be judged by renowned composer IGLoo, GRIM Production's G.MON, and streamer Look-sam. Memne, a member of the previous unit 'GLIIMerS', will serve as the special MC, adding excitement to the event.
Selected artists will have the opportunity to perform IGLoo's new song 'Universe Tale', anticipated for its impactful electronic sound. GRIM Production expressed hopes that this competition will serve as a gateway for talented virtual artists, encouraging broad participation. Registrations will be open until the 25th, with semifinals streamed live on March 7.
The upcoming 'Virtual On-Live 2' transcends mere competition, providing an essential platform for achieving musical success within the subculture market. Given the success of artists selected from the previous event, there is heightened interest for this edition as well. The generous cash prizes offered to participants enhance the competition's appeal and create significant opportunities for talented artists.
The involvement of renowned composers like IGLoo elevates the musical quality of the competition. With the release of the new track 'Universe Tale', the selected artists have a chance to explore new genres, illustrating their potential to be embraced by the public.
