SeeU

Etymology
During an interview, Hyo Eun Kim, the manager of SBS Artech, said SeeU's name came to mind after thinking of a line from the movie Avatar. The line "I see You" popped into her mind and became the inspiration for 'SeeU'. According to SBS, this is one of several meanings of her name.

Appearance
SeeU was given a moe-esque design and is aimed more specifically to the general and Vocaloid Otaku fandom. SBS stated SeeU was created to be a "cute and lively, yet mysterious looking 17 year old girl." Her outfit was designed with a school uniform in mind. Her official illustrations and design was done by KKUEM.
Her cat ears/nekomimi are speakers. According her illustrator, these ones actually are detachable. Her neckband is a CD player. Soundwaves light up on the rectangle at her flat-shoes and on the upper part of her top (chest). There's a pause button at the back of her clothes, a power button at the ribbon on her neckband and an "on" button on one of the buttons at the front of her top. During a virtual interview starring SeeU conducted by SBS Artech, SeeU revealed her clothing size to be XXS

VOCALOID3 Library SV01 SeeU Limited Edition was produced for her launch in 2011, which include a SeeU Demo song CD, photo frame, stickers, badges, phone strap, manual booklet and an illustration book called SEEU COME INTO THE WORLD.[5] SBS also promoted SeeU to the public by printing her illustration on face packs and on the side of taxi cars.

During Nico Nico Chokaigi 2012‘s “VOCALOID NEWS," SBS Artech stepped forward and claimed to be producing an album for SeeU. On October 19, 2012, SBS Artech teamed up with Big Hit Entertainment and released an album called SV01 SeeU's Compilation Album featuring seven notable songs from the UGC contest. The album is was released in Japan and translated into Japanese lyrics on October 29, 2012.

Sales
The SBS Artech team admitted SeeU sold less than expected within South Korea and Japan. Specific number of sales has not been revealed.

Reaction
SeeU was very popular overseas prior to her release, with over 16,900 hits on DeviantArt, 1,998 on Pixiv and 5,056 hits on NicoNico Douga. However, because of some issues between the Japan and South Korea involving fans basing opinions on political and racial issues gave SeeU a rough start in both countries. Her overall popularity ranges per website to sometimes among the least to most popular of the VOCALOID3 releases. It is affected by the opinions and politics of fans within a particular circle of the fandom.

The criticism of the usage of SeeU alongside her voice provider in her demo song "I=Fantasy" also affected her debut popularity.
