NAVER ONLINE—Despite obvious signs of waning popularity, JYPE and YGE today held a press conference announcing that they would be doubling down on their misplaced commitment to the Zepeto platform. Known for it’s creepy 3D animated versions of people who like to share their personal data and likeness with strangers online, Zepeto is an app that was popular for an entire two weeks back in 2018.
“At JYPE and YGE, we pretend to be technology innovators to increase our stock price,” commented a JYPE executive. “Lee Soo Man pretended he used AI and AR technologies for his virtual group, and no one called him out on his BS, so we didn’t want to be left behind.”
“And that’s why we’re continuing to invest in Zepeto-themed videos that absolutely no one asked for,” a YGE executive smugly said. “It is absolutely not because we spent too much on Zepeto-themed intellectual property and are now struggling to get mileage off of a poor investment.”
