On May 9, the operating company of China's large youth girl group SNH48 GROUP, Shanghai Siba Culture Media Group Co., Ltd., officially announced that the "2025 SNH48 GROUP Annual Youth Festival" series of large-scale events, themed "Making the World More Youthful," will officially launch on May 31, sponsored by the world's first large-scale AI-Agent dance simulation and virtual idol cultivation online game "Parrot Group (AI-Audition)." The annual youth festival award ceremony and concert will be held on August 2 at the AsiaWorld-Expo Arena in Hong Kong, China. This concert will specially invite several well-known domestic and overseas singers and celebrity artists to perform together with SNH48 GROUP, creating a new trend of the times.

Under the guidance of the national development strategy, Hong Kong is actively developing the next-generation digital economy, blockchain, and Web3.0 industries. The large-scale application of these new technologies and models will become key elements. The world's first AI-Agent and AIUGC fan economy ecological community focused on the entertainment field, based on Web3.0 architecture, MEET48 (www.meet48.com), will host the first Web3.0 Global Idol Annual Popularity Selection (The 1st Web3.0 All-Community Annual Idol Popularity Audition & Ceremony, abbreviated as WIPA), which will form a global strategic partnership with this year's SNH48 GROUP Annual Youth Festival to jointly hold the report and award ceremony. All members of SNH48 GROUP and their overseas AI-AGENT virtual groups will participate in this overseas final selection, striving for excellent results to secure development resources in overseas and Web3.0 fields for the members. This is a transformative journey with technology as its backbone and culture as its wings, marking the world's first pioneering attempt to introduce blockchain mechanisms into the idol selection system. Members of SNH48 GROUP, primarily real idols from Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and other Asian countries and regions, as well as representative groups from the virtual human field, will jointly participate in this coronation ceremony filled with unknowns and glory, heralding the youth prelude of the new era on the blockchain. The organizer MEET48 (www.meet48.com) is considered one of the largest AI and Web3.0 application project teams globally, with a fan economy operation network covering Singapore, Hong Kong, Taipei, Tokyo, Seoul, and Dubai. The goal of the MEET48 community is to achieve mass adoption of Web3.0 technology through an AI UGC content ecosystem focused on AIGC (Animation, IDOL, GAME, and Comics) Gen Z trend entertainment content and a graphical, intelligent metaverse social foundation.

This year's WIPA will officially launch in early June, with overseas fans voting through the MEET48 app and official website to select the first TOP16 idols. The final voting will officially close on August 2, and the results will be announced on the same day during the WIPA annual final selection ceremony and award ceremony (held concurrently with the SNH48 GROUP Annual Youth Festival). In terms of incentive mechanisms, all incentives will revolve around the influence of the works and selected members, deeply linking with offline operations to create a true stage leading to the world for participating members. The final ranking based on vote counts will determine the honors, including the production of personal exclusive digital singles and MV shooting, advertising placements in global core business districts, showcasing representative works on high-traffic overseas channels, invitations to participate in multiple overseas offline tours, hosting exclusive handshake events overseas, overseas game and brand endorsement resources, priority recommendation qualifications for original digital singles and MV shooting, appearances in overseas film and television works, and online fan meet-and-greets.

As a global first landing practice of the next-generation digital economy, deeply integrating blockchain and Web3.0 technology with idol culture, WIPA is not only a new assessment of the global influence of participating idols but also a co-creation festival of global entertainment and on-chain technology. Every vote represents the love and trust from overseas fans, and every participant carries infinite possibilities to reach the world and embrace the future. On August 2, 2025, SNH48 GROUP will work hand in hand with overseas strategic partner MEET48 community to witness the crowning moment of the first batch of Web3.0 popular idols globally.
