SK Stoa launches fashion show using an AI-cloned host voice to announce order status even in pre-recorded broadcasts (report)

Announced October 14, 2026

Verified (fact)

SK Stoa, a Korean TV home shopping channel, will air a new fashion program, 'Paeraseu', from October 15. It uses an AI clone of the show host's voice to announce order status and near-sellout alerts even during pre-recorded broadcasts, and answers viewer questions in real time through its mobile app 'Live Talk'.

Why it matters (interpretation)

A case of home shopping using voice cloning to run pre-recorded broadcasts as if live, which also touches on debates about consent and labeling standards for voice cloning.
