AIDOL KACHO
No online
A plain-looking middle-aged section chief leads a double life as a popular idol streamer, using cross-dressing and AI filters. In the real world, he goes unnoticed—but through his virtual persona, he begins to receive the recognition he never had. As that validation grows, the boundaries between his job, his family, and his own identity slowly begin to unravel.

This comedy shows the line between a “real self” and a “fake self” in today’s world of AI editing and streaming culture. It follows a boring middle-aged manager who becomes popular as an idol streamer through cross-dressing and AI filters, showing his loneliness and need for attention at work and at home. Using the close-up feeling of vertical video, the film shows both the comfort and strange feeling of livestreams, and a modern person slowly breaking down while living through a virtual identity.
