VOID Joins Metaverse 'Royal Universe'… Launching Era of 'Twin Artists'

[TV Daily Reporter Han Seo-yool] The band VOID (VO1D) is set to expand its activities in the metaverse by joining the virtual world 'Royal Universe'.

On May 6, the agency IX Entertainment announced that VOID unveiled their virtual SD characters at the '2026 World IT Show' and officially joined the Royal Universe.

This project operates on a dual system where the band engages in both real-world activities and in-character roles within the Royal Universe. Through the 'Twin Artist' model, the members will weave together independent narratives through both real artists and their virtual counterparts. Previously, the group has aimed for a narrative that connects music, visuals, and performances, and this merger promises to provide a seamless storytelling experience that blurs the lines between reality and virtuality.

IX Entertainment and Royal Streamer described this initiative as an expansion of artist IP into the limitless realm of the virtual space, and they revealed plans to roll out diverse global activities such as XR concerts set in the Royal Universe. VOID showcased immersive interactive content at the exhibition site and will continuously engage with fans by unveiling unique content across platforms like TikTok and YouTube.

VOID's entry into the Royal Universe represents a significant shift in artist activities, leveraging the metaverse as a novel platform. With the introduction of the 'Twin Artist' model, they have the opportunity to connect with their fans through a unified narrative, transcending the boundaries between reality and virtuality. This approach is expected to enhance the multifaceted experience for fans and strengthen the artists' identity.

Moreover, as VOID expands its activities in the metaverse, the fusion of music and content consumption methods is likely to evolve. The interaction between virtual characters and real artists will diversify, allowing fans to extend their ties with the artists through new forms of performances and content.

Such innovation enhances the artist's brand value and opens avenues for ambitious global tours and XR concerts, thereby expanding the limitless possibilities of the metaverse. This will particularly contribute to maximizing VOID's impact by providing a new channel for global fans to engage with them more frequently.
