ALIGO AI is a Seoul, South Korea-based company founded in 2020 that built Celevu, a platform matching brands with Korean celebrities, including K-pop idols and K-drama actors, for endorsement advertising.
Celevu uses AI algorithms to recommend celebrity matches for a brand's campaign, drawing on data about the Korean entertainment industry, and the company says it can surface optimal talent matches within about 15 minutes rather than the weeks a traditional talent-agency negotiation can take. The platform also supplies market insight and licensing support for using a celebrity's image in ads, and the company secured KRW 200 million (about $152,000) in seed funding from Seoul National University Technology Holdings.
ALIGO AI is built for brands and agencies running international or Korea-focused advertising campaigns that want to license K-pop or K-drama star power without navigating agency relationships from scratch. Pricing runs $299 a month on the Standard plan and $599 a month on Premium, with a 30-day free trial before committing.
