**Toyou Dream and D.O.B. Studio Partner to Bring Characters to Life as Virtual Humans**
Popular webtoon characters, such as those from “God of Blackfield,” will soon be brought to life as virtual humans. On the 24th, the webtoon IP studio, To You Dream, announced a strategic partnership with D.O.B. Studio, a company specialized in virtual human content, to create AI characters using webtoon IPs. To You Dream owns renowned webtoon IPs, including titles like “Dokgo,” “Shark,” and “Castle.” D.O.B. Studio is known for its expertise in virtual face graphics, having replicated the face of actress Yoon Yeo-Jung when she was in her 20s. The two firms will collaborate to develop a live-action Talking Face Avatar (TFA) based on webtoon characters and a virtual influencer. TFA is an AI technology that animates static images, and a virtual influencer refers to a digital entity used for promotional activities. The CEO of To You Dream expressed his anticipation for exploring new potentials for webtoon IPs as marketing tools through this collaboration.
