In an interview with Maeil Business Newspaper, SM Entertainment's co-CEO Lee Sung Soo revealed, "Nævis, who has thus far only appeared in the form of CG in aespa's music videos, will be showcased as her own AI artist. The artist will be created using a mixture of the latest technology to ensure natural movements, a newly created voice, and even realtime communication." Nævis's voice will be created by sampling and digitizing the voices of 12 voice actresses.
Nævis's debut stage will be during aespa's 'VR Concert at KWANGYA', set to take place as a part of the annual 'South By Southwest' music festival (SXSW) in Austin, Texas. This year's festival will be held from March 10-19, with aespa's 20-minute 'VR Concert at KWANGYA' being showcased as a segment of the 'XR Experience' competition.
