It has even been used by fans to create “parasocial” edits.

Recently, netizens have noticed a new “AI” trend that makes it seem like male idols are kissing the fans who created them. Yet, most concerns didn’t come from the “delulu” of it, but the dangerous use of AI because by feeding idols’ images into the technology, it means they can be used for more malicious creations done without their consent. Others shared that there are ways to create moments like this, through apps, or even the official photobooth templates created by K-Pop companies for comebacks and special events.
