Enjoy Chuseok Traditional Culture in the Metaverse

Space Created for Making Songpyeon and Playing Tuho in 'Zepeto'
"Hanbok Culture Week, Showing New Content Even on Dongji"

The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Craft & Design Foundation will operate a venue for experiencing traditional culture during the Chuseok holiday. They have set up a space on the extended virtual world (metaverse) platform 'Zepeto' where users can make songpyeon and play tuho. A special event will be held until the 30th. If you upload a video of experiencing traditional culture with music and background added to your Zepeto account, you will be entered into a draw to receive Zepeto coins. A Ministry of Culture official said, "Starting with this event, we will pilot a traditional culture content project using the metaverse," adding, "We plan to showcase new content during Hanbok Culture Week (November 11-17) and Dongji (December 22)."

The two organizations are also running a special Hanbok exhibition in collaboration with six Hanbok companies. Until the 26th, the exhibition and Hanbok and traditional game experiences will be available on the first floor Central Atrium of Starfield Hanam. The exhibition features Hanbok worn by the Korean delegation at the opening ceremony of the 2020 Tokyo Paralympics, Hanbok worn by Yoo Jae-suk on the variety show 'Hangout with Yoo,' and Hanbok designed with participation from the K-pop group Momoland. You can also see the Hanbok suit that gained attention in the drama 'Itaewon Class.'
