Gamania Group launches “hidol”, Taiwan’s first interactive fandom platform connecting idols, musicians, creators, and trusted AI in a collaborative ecosystem

Supporting original creations and nurturing IP development—AI brings new momentum

Gamania Group has long been dedicated to the ACGN (Anime, Comics, Games, and Novels) sector, having launched online novels and comics platforms on its digital entertainment hub in 2021. In July 2024, these platforms were merged and rebranded as MOJOIN, with a focused strategy on promoting local works to overseas markets.

Today, over 100 creators in Gamania Group’s illustrated IP incubation program, along with musicians from its music incubation initiative, have benefited from cross-industry collaboration, commercial expansion, and training in intellectual property rights and community management. Whether in games, comics, novels, or illustrated content, Gamania continues to provide comprehensive support in fundamental operations, business strategies, resource allocation, and event planning, firmly backing Taiwan’s original content creators

In 2021, the talent show “Atom Boyz”, co-produced by Gamania Group, garnered widespread acclaim. This experience reinforced the company’s understanding that young people have diverse entertainment interests—some play games, others read comics, novels, or follow idols. “By leveraging an all-encompassing strategy combined with AI technology and applications, we can engage with young audiences across all entertainment avenues. This aligns with our vision of building a ‘full-ecosystem tech enterprise’ that integrates AI, big data, and platforms to connect the entire pan-entertainment industry.”

Advanced Digital Authentication Protects Creators’ Rights

For idols and creators, hidol offers an opportunity to explore AI applications that enhance fan engagement, increase exposure, and expand their fanbase. AI also improves creative efficiency, allowing creators to focus their time on meaningful artistic endeavors.Gamania Group employs cutting-edge anti-counterfeiting technology to safeguard AI-generated content such as digital artworks and voiceprints by embedding digital watermarks. For instance, AI-generated voices of virtual idols include inaudible frequencies that serve as security markers. Even if a voice is manipulated or edited out of context, these embedded signals can verify whether the original content originated from Gamania Group. To prevent AI-generated content from being mistaken for real human voices or works, clear disclaimers are provided to users. “We ensure that AI-generated content does not ‘speak irresponsibly’ and take responsibility in clearly distinguishing AI-generated content from human-created works.”

Additionally, Gamania Group’s legal team is developing specific contracts for IP licensing to ensure creators’ rights are protected. The company adopts a hybrid architecture, combining large language models with proprietary AI models, deployed within a strictly controlled private cloud environment to prevent data leakage to external providers such as OpenAI. A comprehensive cybersecurity framework is in place to monitor data flow, ensuring compliance with the highest security standards.

Gamania Group is committed to expanding a three-way cycle encompassing IP incubation, IP services, and fan engagement on hidol. “Our goal is to foster long-term growth, allowing more IPs, fans, and cutting-edge AI technologies to join the ecosystem. By continuously evolving and overcoming challenges together, we will propel the pan-entertainment industry toward sustainable and healthy development!”
