[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Jucheol In] Gyeongsangnam-do announced on the 17th that it will carry out a 'Pause' campaign to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) using the 'Metaverse' (extended virtual world) platform.
This campaign, under the slogan "Stoplalaland Gyeongnam," will run until the 30th. During the campaign period, you can enter by searching for 'Gyeongnam Provincial Government Metapark' on the metaverse platform 'Zepeto'.
The Gyeongnam Provincial Government Metapark is designed to three-dimensionally reproduce the pond and road inside the provincial government office, the main and annex buildings, and the Innovation Park, allowing visitors to enjoy moving between the real world and the virtual world.
At "Stoplalaland Gyeongnam," six events will be held: finding seven 'Pause' slogans, overcoming obstacles and going to the COVID-safe zone, sitting on the pause chair, dancing together on the stage, finding the Gyeongnam Provincial Government logo and taking photos, and attaching speech bubbles saying 'Pause' which is the hardest thing in daily life.
Additionally, activities that cannot be enjoyed in daily life, such as riding an open car on the provincial government road and gathering without masks to talk, can be freely enjoyed. Among the residents who participate in "Stoplalaland Gyeongnam," excellent participants will be selected by lottery and awarded Zero Pay worth 10,000 to 30,000 KRW.
Ok Sejin, head of the Social Innovation Promotion Team of Gyeongsangnam-do, said, "The campaign was planned with the hope that the spread of participation in the 'Pause' campaign will provide small comfort and vitality to residents exhausted by COVID-19," adding, "We will continue to provide opportunities for resident participation and communication even in non-face-to-face situations through various attempts using the metaverse and other means."
