SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 7 February 2025 – MEET48 officially launches its world-first virtual entertainment, social, music, and dance AIGC creator platform, MEET48.ai, on February 7. MEET48.ai: Effortlessly Create Idol AI-Agents and AIGC Content with One-Click Intelligence By accessing MEET48.ai, users can create virtual Idol AI-Agents through simple customization steps. These AI-Agents support various functions, including chatting, live streaming, companionship, and virtual performances. As the world’s only platform offering efficient AIGC content generation with text-to-music, music-to-dance, AI-powered choreography, and voice cloning capabilities, MEET48.ai enables Idol-Agents to autonomously create multimedia content, including AI graphics, AI songs, and AI virtual dances which can be instantly shared on social media platforms. MEET48.ai also provides a wide range of application scenarios, such as 1-on-1 or group text/voice chats, real-time live streaming, and planned features like animated shows, variety programming, and virtual concerts. Additionally, MEET48.ai introduces AISHOWBOX, an exclusive AI creation tool that enables users to achieve in-depth creation functions such as heterogeneous 3D image creation, AI-powered choreography, and Idol Agent Group content, significantly enhancing the quality of AIUGC creations. MEET48 ecosystem creates an exclusive competitive “moat” by integrating a vast array of high-quality entertainment resources At its initial stage, MEET48.ai has already integrated a large number of exclusive entertainment resources from the MEET48 ecosystem. Over 700 songs and dances from SNH48 GROUP have been added to the asset library, and more than 250 current idols will join to create their Idol AI-Agents. Under the concept of “AI Reshaping SNH48”, Meet48 will offer virtual images and 3D models of over 700 members from the past decade of SNH48 Group. Users can freely create AI-AGENTs by utilizing AI technology to recreate SNH48 Group’s historical milestones and initiate future growth in the AI era. Co-create and co-build community consensus, realizing an AIUGC community where “Everyone Can Be a Creator” MEET48.ai community fosters consensus through a co-creation and co-building mechanism.

In the future, MEET48.ai will also integrate with MEET48’s graphical social platform, Metaverse, offering an innovative virtual-spatial intelligent agent interaction experience. Moreover, AI-AGENT creators can assess their growth through the MEET48 entertainment ecosystem’s Top 5 fan-voted annual popularity competitions, gaining broader exposure through the resource incentives provided by the community. Historically, a few dominant entities controlled content creation and revenue in the idol economy. However, the Web3 era is gradually dismantling this traditional system. The rapid development of AIGC and AI-Agent technologies heralds the arrival of the AIUGC era, where “everyone can be a creator.” MEET48.ai aligns perfectly with this emerging societal need. The global entertainment market is on the verge of transformation, and MEET48.ai is poised to become the most influential leader in Idol-Agent and virtual music-dance AIGC within the global entertainment industry.

KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 7 February 2025 – In 2024, Octa broker sponsored a coding bootcamp for Malaysian students, STATUS 200. Organised in cooperation with Ideas International, this charity project was held on-site in Kuala Lumpur and lasted from April to November 2024. The program was divided into three stages, each filled with intense learning and challenging assignments. While many participants could not go through the first two stages, 12 completed the course—and are now choosing one of many career paths open to them. The STATUS 200 bootcamp aimed to create new career opportunities for dedicated Malaysian students passionate about programming. To bring this project to life, Octa broker joined forces with Ideas International, a Malaysian academy focusing on providing high-quality, affordable education for youths with diverse backgrounds.

Twelve students achieved Stage 2 certification and enrolled in Stage 3, finishing it with impressive results. The graduates successfully completed their final assignments—each had to develop a fully functional webshop from scratch. Based on these individual projects, these students’ skill level corresponds to a junior web developer position. The bootcamp has already brought significant positive change into the lives of the participants: Several students engaged in paid, commissioned web development projects on a freelance basis after completing Stage 2 Three students were offered internships in the field One student with no prior teaching experience became a coding teacher One student applied for a computer science scholarship in Australia, and the instructors wrote a recommendation for him—the eligibility for this scholarship was solely based on his bootcamp results.

TOKYO, JAPAN – Media OutReach Newswire – 7 February 2025 – Real estate private equity firm Gaw Capital Partners today announced that the firm, through a fund under its management and investment from co-investors, has partnered with Patience Capital Group (PCG) to form a joint venture for the acquisition and management of prime retail asset “Tokyu Plaza Ginza” in Ginza 5-chome, Tokyo, Japan.
