SeeU is a bargain considering that it comes with two libraries (including Vocaloid3 software), Korean and Japanese at 233000won ($213 in Korea).

For comparison,

Oliver $200, IA $213, Aoki Lapis $213

Considering that Vocaloid3 is professional software which the original intended audience was for adult working in music industry, the price is really cheap.

I think SBS or others releasing another Vocaloid in Korea are not likely, because of two main reasons.

1. Not enough potential fan bases

2. It will sell worse than SeeU

Japan can have multiple successful Vocaloids because there is huge potential fan base (otaku population). Korea does not.

I will go off topic here and talk about why English Vocaloids had no success (sales and fan base). Since there are tons and tons of English speaking Vocaloid fans outside of Japan, release of Oliver or recently released Avanna should have been a huge success considering its huge potential fan base, both in sales and popularity. But it didn't. The reason is because English speaking Vocaloid fans are mostly consists of people who like Japanese culture (anime mostly.)

I am a SeeU fan myself, but realistically speaking, release of SeeU's English voicebank will not magically make SeeU popular.
