Tee performed hip-hop music every Monday through Friday for four hours a day.
But some listeners began to doubt her identity.

The broadcaster said it is to provide a better environment for listeners by applying new AI technology, adding that it has gained valuable experience through pilot operations and will try to improve problems.
However, some listeners are criticizing the broadcaster for not informing them in advance, saying it is a deceptive act.
