OpenAI, the U.S. company behind ChatGPT, will meet with domestic creators in South Korea who use artificial intelligence (AI) to produce video content.

According to industry sources on June 17, representatives from OpenAI's video generation tool "Sora" will visit South Korea next week. The visit will primarily involve the "Sora Artist Program" team, which is dedicated to expanding the possibilities of Sora by collaborating with AI-based creators. During their stay, the team plans to meet with local creators who produce videos using AI.

During their visit, the Sora team is expected to explore opportunities for collaboration by identifying creators' interests and gathering feedback. Notably, Seoul is the city with the highest number of Sora users worldwide, so this meeting is anticipated to help enhance user experience and improve the AI model's performance. An OpenAI representative stated, "We will exchange ideas on various topics while learning about the needs of Korean creators."

Previously, OpenAI established a Korean subsidiary and officially announced its entry into the domestic market. Jason Kwon, Chief Strategy Officer (CSO), told reporters on May 26, "South Korea ranks second globally after the United States in the number of paid ChatGPT subscribers," and added, "Through our entry into South Korea, we aim to strengthen cooperation with local policymakers, businesses, and developers, and to support the broad sharing of AI benefits by developing a truly 'Korean-style AI.'"
