본 연구는 패션 버추얼 인플루언서(FVI)의 시각적 요소가 팔로워 행동의도, 중독에 미치는 영향요인을 확인하고자 하였다. 요즘 FVI의 팬 수가 증가하고 있으며, 소셜 플랫폼의 중독 현상도 증가하면서 연구자들은 FVI의 시각적 측면으로 팬들의 행동의도와 중독에 이르는 경로를 확인하는 연구가 필요할 것으로 보았다. 연구결과 FVI의 시각적 요소인 매력성은 전문성을 통해 진정성을 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다. 또 진정성은 행동의도의 관계유지를 통해 몰입에 영향을 미치는 것이 확인되었고 진정성은 몰입을 통해 중독에 영향을 미치는 것도 확인되었다. 연구자들은 본 연구를 통해 FVI의 시각적 요소가 행동의도와 중독에 이르는 경로를 시각적 요소와 진정성, 진정성과 행동의도, 행동의도와 중독 등으로 설정하여 검정하였다는 점에서 이론적, 실무적 공헌점이 있다고 보았다. 연구자들은 향후 FVI의 다양한 콘텐츠 유형, 소셜 플랫폼의 측면으로 연구가 확대되길 기대한다.

This study concludes that communication based on interaction between broadcasting hosts and consumers is differently characterized by fashion live commerce types. Subcategories of the types of fashion live commerce were created and used in the analyses of domestic consumer awareness. Three subcategories were created: The department store type, Designer brand type, and Influencer host type. Comments representing consumers' awareness that appear immediately during real-time broadcasting were collected and used for the analyses. The frequency and TF-IDF-based top keywords were selected to analyze the semantic network and CONCOR, and the top keywords were analyzed by deriving the values of degree of centrality. The analysis identified that a group of product attributes and a group of live commerce offered value were common between the three types. As for the group characteristics classified by type, for the department store types, brand attributes, benefits, and values from pursuing the products were identified. For designer brand types, a group of viewers' responses and inquiries were identified. It is interpreted that the satisfaction value gained from hosts with product expertise has been clustered. Influencer host types have affirmed a group of external product values. A close relationship is formed and it is thought to have led a group of values to trust the external image of the product. This study carries significance in analyzing real-time comment data from consumers using fashion live commerce to empirically reveal the characteristics of each type.

넥플릭스,유튜브로 대표되는 OTT 동영상 제작 서비스에 인공지능으로 콘텐츠를 개인별 맞춤식 추천 시스템은 보편화 되었다. 유튜브의 개인별 맞춤 추천서비스 시스템은 두 개의 신경망으로 구성되는데 신경망 하나는 추천 후보생성 모델이고 다른 하나는 순위평가 네트워크로 구성된다. Netflix의 동영상 추천 시스템은 두 개 데이터 분류 시스템으로 구성되어 있으며 콘텐츠 기반 필터링과 협업 필터링으로 나누어진다. 코로나 펜데믹으로 온라인 플랫폼 주도의 콘텐츠 제작이 활성화 되면서 인공지능을 활용한 가상 인플루언서 분야가 부각되고 있다. 가상인플루언서는 GAN(Generative Adversarial Networks) 인공지능으로 제작되는데 성격이 다른 두 시스템이 서로 경쟁하는 방식으로 학습이 반복되는 비교사(Unsupervised) 학습 알고리즘이다. 이 연구는 AI 개인별 추천 기반 플랫폼과 가상인플루언서(메타버스)가 향후 OTT의 핵심콘텐츠로의 발전 가능성도 연구해 보았다.

Purpose As the use of social network services has become common, it has become possible to freely communicate and establish relationships with other people anytime, anywhere for communication and information sharing. Influencers who have a strong influence on consumers' perceptions and attitudes through their own opinions and stories have appeared on various social media channels such as YouTube. Recently, companies utilize influencers with a large number of followers to check interactions with customers to understand customer attitudes and opinions about products in real time. Start-ups with insufficient resources need to quickly examine customer responses to reduce the probability of failure after product planning. The Lean process of creating an MVP and quickly confirming and learning the market response should be repeated over and over again. Findings In this paper, we try to suggest that the YouTube platform can play a sufficient role as a customer experiment space through examples. The case company is a company that has successfully commercialized products by continuously interacting with customers through the YouTube platform for the first four months of its founding. This paper is expected to be helpful in the experimental process for prospective founders and early founders to examine customer responses to reduce the probability of market failure before commercialization. Design/methodology/approach This paper analyzed the YouTube channel data of case companies based on the netnography methodology and presented the contents of the lean process management carried out in the experimental stage and the post-production stage through interview research.

This study examines the effects of fashion influencers' body types (realistic versus ideal body types) on self-expression, self-representation, and recommendation intentions, as mediated by familiarity toward influencers. Although fashion influencers lead to a positive consumer response compared to traditional advertisements, previous research on the effects of fashion influencers on consumers is limited. Thus, this study tests the role of consumers' socio-psychological aspects in understanding how and why fashion influencers affect consumers' behavioral intentions associated with self-expression, self-representation, and influencer recommendation. A total of 180 women in their 20s and 30s participated in the survey. The responses were collected after showing them stimuli featuring fashion influencers with either ideal or realistic body shapes. The data were analyzed using SPSS18.0 for descriptive statistics, and AMOS 18.0 for confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling. The results showed that participants who were shown realistic body types perceived familiarity, which generated positive effects on self-expression, self-representation, and recommendation intentions. Hence, the effects of influencers' body types on recommendation intention are mediated by familiarity. Self-expression and self-representation intentions also increase influencer recommendation intention. Comparatively, participants who were shown ideal body types only induced higher self-representation intention, which increased their recommendation intention. The current findings can help fashion marketers select the appropriate influencers who fit their target customers as promotional models, as well as to induce changes in consumers' behavioral intention.

However, there is a lack of research that suggests specific processes affecting behavioral intentions through trust and attachment between virtual influencers and consumers. In addition, previous studies have failed to consider the characteristics of hyper-realistic virtual influencers. Therefore, this study investigates the effects of trust and attachment to hyper-realistic virtual influencers on consumers' behavioral intentions based on the trust-building model. Design/methodology/approach Based on the previous research, seven antecedent factors for trust-building were derived: Reality, Attractiveness, Awareness, Interactivity, Professionalism, Social Presence, and Predictability. Next, the survey was conducted on Chinese people who had experienced interacting with hyper-realistic virtual influencers on social network services within the last 3 months at the time of data collection. A total of 326 respondents were used for the final analysis and hypotheses were tested using a structural equation model technique. Findings The results of this study are as follows. First, this study confirmed that reality, attractiveness, awareness, social presence, and predictability as antecedent factors for trust-building of hyper-realistic virtual influencers have a positive effect on trust. Second, this study confirmed that trust in hyper-realistic virtual influencers has a significant positive effect on attachment. Lastly, this study confirmed that trust and attachment to the hyper-realistic virtual influencer significantly and positively affect relationship retention and purchase intentions.
