Kim Kwang-Seok voice recreation

Late South Korean folk-rock singer Kim Kwang-Seok's voice has been recreated using AI for an AI-human singing competition on local broadcast network SBS. 

Kim's voice was brought to life using local AI company Supertone's Singing Voice Synthesis system to perform 'I miss you', a 2002 ballad by Kim Bum-soo.

The performance delighted fans, but despite Kim's family giving permission for the use of his voice, the show prompted concerns about plagiarism, copyright, and the potential misuse and abuse of deepfake technologies. 

The late singer died in 1996 aged 31 after a strong of hits. His death was officially attributed to suicide.
