Virtual idols with “beautiful skins” and “interesting souls” have gradually become the idolize goal of the second-generation youth group and come into public view. Based on jean Baudrillard ’s “simulacra theory”, this paper summarizes the dual empowerment of voice control created by Cat’s Ear Entertainment to virtual idol men’s groups LASER and MANTA from the virtual and realistic perspectives, and finds that virtual idols also have three major dilemmas in the simulacra society: the fans of virtual idols are alienated; IP long tail communication bundles fan consumption; Pink circle thinking breaks the utopia of virtual idols. With the continuous development of the concept of meta-universe, the healthy and sustainable development of virtual idols is still on the road.
