DERURU : The Unending Song is an interactive media artwork in which a spoken conversation with the AI virtual idol DERURU becomes images and a song — an “album” for each visitor. Visitors become co-creators who write the character’s songs with her, and the results are reworked by the artist into music videos. This cycle, which continues after the visitor leaves, is the “unending song.”

Yewon Lee is a media artist and Ph.D. candidate in Arts Engineering at Chung-Ang University, building AI-driven virtual idol systems based on her experience as an animation producer, AI VTuber streaming producer, and VR game PM. In 2025 she launched the AI virtual idol DERURU, exploring “circular co-creation” between audiences and AI.
