MBC Election Results AI Countdown

MBC announced the start of its election broadcast by releasing "Girl, and Us," a new concept countdown video based on generative AI. This video offers a look at the flow of modern Korean history.

The video, revealed on MBC's 'Choice 2026' on the 3rd, is an AI video structured as 'one continuous shot' that constantly follows a seven-year-old girl.

The video shows the 7-year-old girl's storyline that traverses Korean history, starting from the Hungnam Evacuation during the Korean War, through a refugee village, a sewing factory in the 70s, Gwangju in the 80s, the Olympic Stadium, and the recent process of overcoming internal conflict.

After passing through South Korea's growth into a K-pop and technological powerhouse, the girl enters a polling station. As she passes the ballot box, she transforms into an 80-year-old grandmother, her face constantly overlapping with the faces of countless citizens who have lived through Korea's history.

MBC explained that this video was created as an homage inspired by the 2008 British Hovis commercial "Go On Lad," which depicted 120 years of British history through a boy's run. The production team created the video using only MBC's vast broadcast archives and advanced generative AI technology, without any filming.
