Korean pop idols, actors and actresses are wildly popular but virtual humans seem to be more convenient and beneficial as they are not constrained by hectic schedules and scandals. <br /><br />An example of this emerging trend is Rozy, a virtual influencer and model who has received more than 100 sponsorships and is predicted to earn more than 1 billion Korean won ($854,000 approx) this year.<br /><br />Rozy was developed by Sidus Studio X in August last year. Aged 22, Rozy looks and feels quite like a human being on her Instagram page which has over 60,000 followers. The fact that she’s a virtual human was actually revealed in December last year and became very popular through an advertising campaign in July this year.<br /><br />Rozy has already completed two advertisements this month, and is signed for eight exclusive contracts, Sidus Studio X CEO Baek Seung-yeop <a href="https://news.naver.com/main/ranking/read.naver?mode=LSD&amp;mid=shm&amp;sid1=001&amp;oid=009&amp;aid=0004851108">said </a>during CBS Radio's 'Kim Hyeon-jung's News Show'.<br /><br /><strong>Future plans<br /></strong><br />Baek Seung-yeop added that the company has already achieved the profit it was aiming for through Rozy, and its target for this year is over 1 billion Korean won ($854,000 approx). At present Rozy can pose for photos and shake a few moves for videos. But there are bigger plans of releasing Rozy’s voice and even casting her in movies, dramas and entertainment shows. <br /><br /><strong>Why virtual humans are ideal for ad campaigns<br /></strong><br />According to Baek, Rozy as a virtual human is ideal for advertising campaigns as there are no worries of scandals, time and space. Since virtual humans won’t age, the contracts can also last for a long period of time.<br /><br />    <div type="javascript" title="Instagram" contenttype=""><cdata><![CDATA[<blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/CTwbSOpBAl7/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading" data-instgrm-version="13" style=" background:#FFF;

For Rozy, her looks are based on the MZ (Millenials and Gen-Z) generation, and not borrowed from a specific person. <br /><br /><strong>Not the first virtual influencer<br /></strong><br />Similar to Rozy is Miquela Sousa, a 19-year-old Brazilian-American virtual model, musical artist and influencer.
