Meet n198vis: The Digital K-Pop Idol Revolutionizing the Music Industry
Virtual Idol naevis The Digital Star Changing the K-pop Game Just when you thought K-pop had already reached the peak of cool, here comes n198vis - yes, with that unique 198 in her name - dropping her second single, "Sensitive," on August 7th. This virtual star isn't just another idol; she's a futuristic icon who exists only in the digital world, ready to blow the minds of fans who love cutting-edge music and tech. Imagine a superstar who never ages, doesn't have bad hair days, and can perform non-stop - basically a dream come true for both fans and creators alike. While many of us are still debating whether influencers are "real" celebrities, South Korea is already innovating beyond the physical, creating artists that live purely online and redefining what it means to be a pop star in the 21st century. From Her Debut to a Digital Pop Sensation n198vis first popped up in the background of aespa's music videos, giving fans a glimpse of SM Entertainment's new vision for K-pop. Her debut single "Done" dropped last September, and now, nearly a year later, she's back with "Sensitive" - a pop dance track filled with groovy bass and soft vocals that showcase her evolving style. What makes this exciting is the story behind the song: n198vis is "learning her emotions" through real-world interactions, ironically giving her more character development than many human pop stars get throughout their careers. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Beyond Text Generation: An AI Tool That Helps You Write Better Grammarly Install Now Undo Instead of stressing over exams or family pressure like most youth, she's navigating feelings algorithmically, which feels both futuristic and oddly relatable in our data-driven world. nævis 나이비스 'Done' MV Why This Matters to Our Digital Generation For those of us who've grown up online, this virtual idol trend makes perfect sense. We already spend so much time in digital spaces, bonding with people we've never met or becoming emotionally attached to fictional heroes. Having a pop star who is 100% digital is just the next step in that evolution. Compared to the Indian entertainment industry, which is rapidly embracing streaming and digital content, Korea is sprinting ahead by creating entertainers who live entirely in cyberspace. This technology feels less like sci-fi and more like the natural future of how we consume music and culture.

Ravi Shastri Cracks Everyone Up With Wholesome Jab At Farokh Engineer; Nasser Hussain Joins In: WATCH
Curated By : Siddarth Sriram Last Updated: July 23, 2025, 20:30 IST Ravi Shastri with Farokh Engineer (PTI Photo) Cricket often transcends the boundary ropes, and the first day of the fourth Test between India and England at Old Trafford in Manchester was a perfect example. While the on-field action drew attention, it was a legendary off-field presence—Farokh Engineer—that truly lit up the day. Old Trafford witnessed a historic moment as Engineer, the iconic Indian wicketkeeper and Lancashire stalwart, became the first Indian cricketer to have a stand named after him in England. His name now adorns a stand at the ground alongside another celebrating West Indies legend Sir Clive Lloyd—marking a proud moment for Indian cricket history. Now 87 years old and recently recovered from aortic valve replacement surgery in June, Engineer has returned to his routine and made a high-profile appearance as a VIP guest during the ongoing Lord's Test. His presence at Old Trafford during the Manchester Test added a nostalgic layer to the day's events. As the broadcast camera caught Engineer in the stands on Day 1, the commentary box lit up with warmth and humor. Ravi Shastri, spotting the former gloveman on screen, couldn't resist sharing a fond and cheeky tribute. 'Farokh (Engineer). A real pin-up boy in the '60s and '70s. Hugely popular, and he's not changed over the years. A great storyteller and a voracious eater even now. At lunch, his plate will be full," Shastri quipped, clearly speaking with nothing but affection and admiration. Not one to miss a beat, Nasser Hussain jumped in with a perfectly timed joke that sent the commentary team into laughter. 'He'll be just behind you in that all-day buffet queue, Ravi," Hussain said, poking fun at Shastri's own famously hearty appetite. It was a moment of levity and camaraderie—reminiscent of the spirit that has made cricket more than just a game for fans around the world. India In Control During Initial Stages of Fourth Test Back on the pitch, India made a solid start to the fourth Test. Openers Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul safely negotiated a probing spell from Chris Woakes, guiding India to 78 without loss at lunch on a cloudy Wednesday morning. Despite the fact that no team has ever won at Old Trafford after choosing to bowl first, England captain Ben Stokes opted to send India in on a pitch with early movement. Swipe Left For Next Video View all The strategy seemed to pay off shortly after the lunch break as both Indian openers were dismissed in quick succession, allowing Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan to take center stage. With the momentum in India's favor early on, the middle-order pair will aim to consolidate and build on the platform laid by the openers.
