Daegu's Dalseo District Turns Mascots Dalsu and Dalhui Into AI Announcers

Dalseo District, Daegu, introduced its mascots Dalsu and Dalhui as generative AI announcers in February 2025. The two characters appear on the district's official YouTube channel and deliver information about district affairs. The district now has a channel where its characters deliver its news.

Dalhui, Dalsu's partner character, was introduced in 2023. Dalsu and Dalhui have been used at expos, festivals and in social media promotion, and they also appear in school zone safety signage. As AI announcers, the two characters now go beyond event venues and signage to deliver district news directly on video.

A September report the same year also described Dalsu and Dalhui as characters actively used at expos, festivals and in social media promotion. Dalseo District announced plans to expand the two characters' story through musicals, animation and merchandise. The idea is to grow the characters into performances, video and products.

Other Dalseo District characters include Imanong, Imanson and Kind Mr. Dalseo.
