Is that the real Faker? Generative AI replaces live filming in Korean TV shows

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming a common part of television production in South Korea. No longer confined to preproduction and postproduction roles, AI has quickly become a central creative force. This can manifest in two ways: either by entirely replacing costly filming or by serving as the main concept behind entire shows.
Disney+ recently launched the murder-mystery game show Murder Club: Liar's Table on July 29. Participants are given distinct characters and backgrounds to outwit each other and identify the murderer. While echoing Crime Scene, a widely recognized interactive murder mystery in Korea, Murder Club distinguishes itself by incorporating generative AI.
The show transforms cast members' alibis and crime scenes into video sequences, introducing a fresh visual dimension to the game. Examples include professional gamer Faker brandishing a gun in a prison uniform and travel YouTuber Pani Bottle exiled as a Joseon-era nobleman. AI is increasingly serving as the premise for entertainment formats as well.
SBS will premiere My AI Partner: Giian Romance on August 20. This dating reality show will employ generative AI to pair contestants for potential romantic connections.
