HYBE has announced that they will launch a virtual girl group, which gained attention. After the art work and characters were released people were amazed and anticipated the concept.

What HYBE sent
After looking at the works, I think it would be good to invite them to the Virtual Idol project we are currently working on and create fun results together, so I would like to request the project. I would like to ask you about 1. Finalize the sketch version of the character design that we have set and 2. Visualize the title song.

What He claims
This year, I received inquiries about virtual girl group design from H company’s subsidiary. When I asked about the cost and detailed inquiries, the designer stopped contacting me without replying, so I was displeased.
There was a presentation for the HYBE Virtual Group today, and everyone around me said they thought I worked on it, so I got the image, but it feels weird.
If you look at the third image, the original sketch style that the agency showed me has completely disappeared, and the drawing style has completely changed
Fans think I outsourced?
The agency asked me and but did not ask me to work it. It’s completely different from the original sketch feeling. The result that’s become similar to my style is really a coincidence, right?
You must have put it on and taken a lot of spades or referred to it a lot.
