  • Presents a global Physical AI vision through K-POP humanoid robot performances and a keynote address
  • SEOUL, South Korea, July 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Yong-ho Choi, CEO of Galaxy Corporation — a leading global Physical AI enter-tech company — captured the attention of global AI industry leaders and international media by delivering a major keynote address and showcasing a K-POP humanoid robot performance on the finale stage of the 'AI for Good Global Summit 2026', hosted by the UN's International Telecommunication Union (ITU).

    On July 10 (local time) at the Palexpo in Geneva, Switzerland, Choi delivered his keynote speech under the theme of "Today, Tomorrow, and the Day After Tomorrow – The Future of AI is Humanity."

    Choi defined the future of AI in stages: "Tomorrow (Physical AI) and the Day After Tomorrow (Soul AI)." He emphasized, "AI should not merely develop to become smarter technology, but rather to protect human love, memories, and emotions."

    He concluded his address with the poignant message, "Let's Give AI a Soul," drawing resounding applause from the audience of over 2,000 global AI experts and corporate executives. The speech was highly praised for presenting a new AI paradigm that places humanity, culture, and emotion at the core of technological advancement, moving beyond purely tech-centric AI.

    Following the keynote, a K-POP humanoid robot performance curated by Galaxy Corporation was unveiled as the grand finale. The humanoid robots executed actual K-POP choreographies with stunning precision, demonstrating how AI is evolving beyond technology into a new entertainment platform capable of expressing culture and emotion.

    During his speech, Choi also introduced 'MACH33', the world's first robot fashion show, and the Physical AI robot theme park, 'Galaxy Robot Park'. The recently pre-opened Galaxy Robot Park sold out all of its July weekend show slots immediately upon ticket launch. Following its official grand opening this coming September, the park is scheduled to run more than 1,000 permanent K-POP robot shows annually.

    "We will establish a global Physical AI enter-tech platform that supplies emotion, character, fashion, and K-content to humanoid robots worldwide, shaping a new culture where humans and robots coexist," said CEO Yong-ho Choi.

    This UN ITU stage served as an official global platform for Galaxy Corporation to declare its vision of the 'Soul AI' era, transcending 'Physical AI'. Guided by the philosophy that "The Future of AI is Humanity," Galaxy Corporation plans to accelerate the establishment of a global 'Soul AI' cultural ecosystem, championing a new paradigm where AI serves as a technology to protect human love, memories, emotion, and happiness.

Peer-reviewed preclinical findings validate the regenerative mechanism of HILO WAVE®'s proprietary Dual-HA Technology (DHC®).

SEOUL, South Korea, July 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- HILO WAVE®, HIGHER Corporation's proprietary Dual-HA Collagen Booster, has further strengthened its scientific evidence with the publication of a preclinical study in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences (IJMS), an SCIE-indexed international scientific journal.

Developed for regenerative aesthetic medicine, HILO WAVE® is designed to improve skin quality and support natural-looking volumization through regenerative biostimulation.

The product is powered by HIGHER Corporation's proprietary Dual Hyaluronic Acid Complex (DHC®), which combines high- and low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid to promote skin regeneration while minimizing inflammatory responses.

The published study, titled "Regenerative Skin Remodeling by a Dual Hyaluronic Acid Hybrid Complex in Multimodal Preclinical Models," was conducted through an international collaborative research project led by the Department of Dermatology at Yonsei University Severance Hospital.

Unlike conventional collagen biostimulatory approaches that rely on localized inflammatory responses, the study investigated the biological mechanism of DHC® and its ability to support regenerative skin remodeling through a biomaterial-based approach.

The preclinical findings demonstrated stable fibroblast viability, increased extracellular matrix (ECM) activity, enhanced antioxidant capacity, and improvements in skin barrier-related markers. In addition, no significant inflammatory responses were observed in animal models, supporting the favorable biological safety profile of DHC®.

The findings suggest that DHC® promotes collagen synthesis and tissue regeneration by regulating the skin microenvironment while minimizing unnecessary inflammation, providing scientific evidence for the regenerative mechanism of HILO WAVE®.

"This publication represents another important step in building the scientific foundation of HILO WAVE®," said a spokesperson for HIGHER Corporation. "As physicians increasingly seek evidence-based treatment options, we remain committed to generating high-quality scientific and clinical evidence that supports the safety, mechanism, and clinical value of our proprietary Dual-HA Technology."

Building on this foundation, HIGHER Corporation will host the HILO WAVE® Global Webinar on August 12, 2026, featuring evidence-based treatment protocols, live treatment demonstrations, and an interactive Q&A with Dr. Kyung Tae Bae.

Registration is open to licensed healthcare professionals.
