On December 26, 2025, MEET48, the world's first idol fan economy ecosystem built on a Web3 infrastructure with deep integration of AI and UGC, together with AIGC digital content creator L1 ecosystem chain POChain, Auditions GO—an AIUGC virtual idol music and dance simulation game developed by the original operation and market team of "Audition Dance Battle", Hash Global, Web3 Entertainment Alliance, and The Fan, jointly held the 「MEET48 2026 AI Entertainment UGC Platform and Web3.0 Development Strategy Launch Event」 in Seoul, South Korea.
This annual roadshow was supported by BNB Chain, with partners including Zanybros, Gaudio, Nine Lives Commune, Offchain, Olaxbt, and Uxlink, among others. The event focused on the deep integration of AI, UGC, entertainment content, and Web3 technology, systematically showcasing MEET48's future-oriented overall development strategy and global layout.
At the event, MEET48 officially announced strategic partnerships with two key South Korean partners, Zanybros and Gaudio Lab, and jointly released a forward-looking AI entertainment strategy declaration. This covers key areas such as AI large models, virtual idols, video production, interactive games, AI audio technology, and the Web3 fan economy ecosystem. Centered on the "AI Co-Creator" model, it aims to build a two-way entertainment bridge connecting China and South Korea, further establishing a global AI × Entertainment × Gaming × Web3 content network.
Notably, the launch event was conducted through a combination of online live streaming and offline activities, showcasing MEET48's multiple product launch plans for 2026 to millions of global users. These products are set to be released in the first half of 2026 and include:
-
ParoAI: The core large language model of the MEET48 AI UGC ecosystem, planned for release in Q1 2026. It is designed to understand creative intent and generate multimodal content, driving narratives, characters, and interactive experiences. With intelligent collaboration and content engine capabilities, it lowers the barrier to creation, helping creators efficiently produce high-quality, shareable content.
-
MEET48.ai: An AI UGC social community platform for idol fans, planned for a strategic upgrade in Q1 2026. Users can create and share AI-generated content based on ParoAI, showcase their works, interact, and collaborate within the community. This transforms AI creation into a social experience that can be seen, feedback received, and recognized, building an AI content ecosystem centered on idol culture and driven by community participation.
-
Auditions GO: The world's first AI-driven virtual idol rhythm and stage performance Web3 game, built around the MEET48 idol ecosystem and planned for release in the first half of 2026. Developed by the original operation and market team of "Audition Dance Battle", players can use $IDOL through UGC tools to create, train, and debut virtual idols, with music, dance moves, and styling evolving on-chain. Virtual idols feature growth and companionship attributes, and user-created idol assets can be authenticated and traded on BNB Chain. Driven by proprietary training models based on MEET48/SNH48 historical performance data and music libraries, it collectively builds a community-driven next-generation Idolverse.
-
POChain: A independently operated, sovereign L1 public chain specifically designed for Web3 creators and developers, fully compatible with BNB Chain at the EVM layer and dedicated to building a new generation of infrastructure for content creation. Jointly incubated by MEETLabs and MEET Foundation, it establishes a swap mechanism between the MEET48 official token $IDOL and the native public chain token $POC to承接 early $IDOL investment value. This will be converted to the native public chain token $POC in phases and to a limited extent, based on time and ecological milestones. The POChain ecosystem will release the following products according to its roadmap in 2026:
-
POCSee.com: The content display hub of POChain, showcasing text, audio, video, and AIGC content under unified standards, and building a trusted, high-quality, scalable content pool through on-chain value authentication. Leveraging on-chain authentication and traceability mechanisms, it records content sources, authors, and value status, serving as the official display and distribution portal externally and the core hub for content discovery, filtering, and long-term preservation internally.
-
POCshow.ai: POChain's virtual idol trainee platform, achieving creation consensus, voting, and debut ownership through a decentralized mechanism, supporting fan economy, revenue sharing, and commercial operations.
-
POCmusic.com: POChain's decentralized music creation and distribution platform, integrating AI music and MV generation to provide creators with a one-stop solution from creation and copyright authentication to distribution. Through on-chain authentication and decentralized mechanisms, it realizes a verifiable, tradable, and sustainable digital music ecosystem.
POCast.ai: POChain's decentralized audio content ecosystem platform, where creators can publish, manage, and monetize content on-chain, ensuring copyright and transparent revenue sharing. Users can safely consume content, support creators, and access exclusive content or NFT benefits.
At the launch event, seven top-ranked idols from the first "MEET48 Best7" and WIPA (Hu Xiaohui, Han Jiale, Liu Zengyan, Zhang Xiaoying, He Linyan, Li Qiuyue, and Zhu Yixin) delivered multiple brilliant performances and held a fan appreciation handshake event, interacting closely with the audience.
