Recently, fanmade AI covers are gaining traction in the K-Pop community and receive mixed reactions. Some see it as a fun and unique way to imagine how one artist would sing a song that belongs to another artists, such as when SHINee‘s Taemin recommended an AI cover using his own voice model.
Thank you for lighting up the world with your art

Meanwhile, some believe if taken too far, it may create a questionable future for human artists, like when the members of NCT revealed their opinions on it.
i love how nct dream respond to ai covers & how some of them saying they don’t like it. yeah the world & technology changed & it might help us, but as an artist or singer it probably feel bad seeing their supposed job replaced by smth that’s not even human https://t.co/UrqgvsDjPg

However, this latest cover going viral features SEVENTEEN covering ILLIT‘s hit single “Magnetic” — and it’s neither of the things described above!

The song is gaining attention for how funny it sounds. Typically, when creating an AI cover, things can start to sound questionable when crossing genders: i.e. having a male artist cover a female voice and vice versa. Having the vocalists of SEVENTEEN cover ILLIT’s soft and girly sound was bound to create something hilarious!
Netizens couldn’t help but burst out laughing starting from the very first note — but if you continue to watch, it gets even better!
“Who is that in the beginning, it’s f*cking funny LOL” “Ah crazy LMAO” “No lmao who is that hahah Wonwoo-ssi? LOL” “LMAO wtf is this lol” “Wonwoo LOLLL” “The first part, who are you LMAO ah it’s freaking funny LMAO” | theqoo
