Over 500 broadcasting personnel and more than 40 cameras.

KBS election counting broadcast is among the most advanced in South Korea.

This time, artificial intelligence will be used for the regional counting status relay broadcast.

From Dong-gu in Gwangju, a symbol of the May 18 Democratic Movement, to Pohang in North Gyeongsang Province, which played a role as a precursor to economic growth, and Jongno in Seoul, known as the epicenter of citizen resistance.

The video created by generative AI adds symbolic meaning to the public sentiment in each region.

Special cameras integrated with augmented reality graphics will bring vitality to the counting situation at KBS in Yeouido and the Seokchon Lake structure.
