There’s a new way to follow your favorite celebrity: see him as a speaker at a tech expo. First a star and now a slashie who’s candid about his heavy use of artificial intelligence, K-pop 2AM member Lim Seul-ong made history by being the first Korean idol to speak at an AI event in Taiwan. Many of his fans took time off of work on Thrusday afternoon to see Lim at the AI EXPO Taiwan 2026, where he revealed new songs from 2AM might incorporate AI.

- Many 2AM fans are here. Thank you, everybody. We’re all sharing this moment together.

This speaker, like many other experts at the event, may be sharing his analysis of how AI is playing a growing role in the entertainment industry, but he’s actually a star in another industry, the K-pop music industry.

16 years ago, 2AM’s song “Can’t Let You Go Even If I Die” turned the group into a household name in Taiwan, yet this time around Lim Seul-ong returned to Taiwan not to sing but to teach, turning his fans into students.

2AM debuted 18 years ago. Known for their sentimental ballad-style songs, Lim shared his beliefs about whether or not he’s concerned about being replaced by AI.

I believe that when it comes to the art we create and our performances, AI might help us better express our emotions as well as have more of an impact on popular culture. But, as for pure singing skill, I might just lose to AI.

A heavy user of AI, Lim shared his own AI trick: he has trained Chat GPT to be more direct. With a smile on his face, he revealed that Korea has an urban legend about speaking informal Korean to AI. Lim also shared how back in Korea he asked GPT which Taiwanese locations he should visit.

I want to eat at a lot of restaurants with delicious food. I also really enjoy visiting art museums. As for my dinner plans, I’ve heard that Korean barbecue restaurants have opened all around Taiwan, so I’m looking forward to enjoying the local culture in Taiwan.

Lim’s visit to speak in Taipei is also a warm-up to his May 24 concert in Taiwan. The island nation has been a constant fixture in 2AM’s world tours for 3 years in a row. Lim also directed his attention to his fan club members, who are collectively known as I Am.

When I was giving my speech I was thinking about what I’d say to all the many fans I have here. At the end of the day, I’m just in awe of how every time I come I have so many people who want to see me.

AI technology might be able to break barriers when it comes to time and space, yet its increasing capabilities will never be able to match the power of a pop star meeting his biggest fans in person.
