[Asia Economy Reporter Jin-gyu Lee] Netmarble announced on the 26th that it will celebrate its 20th anniversary this year by unveiling a commemorative emblem and conducting social contribution programs together with the Netmarble Culture Foundation to help spread a healthy gaming culture.

On the same day, Netmarble unveiled the 20th anniversary commemorative emblem on the Netmarble Culture Foundation website. The emblem, symbolizing "looking back at the past and discovering something new," was created by reinterpreting pixel motifs visually representing classic games.

Netmarble explained, "The emblem reflects Netmarble’s social contribution activities over the past 20 years to promote a healthy gaming culture and expresses our commitment to continue leading efforts to enhance cultural value."

This year, marking its 20th anniversary, the Netmarble Culture Foundation will carry out four activities: the Game in Life Contest, the establishment of the 34th Game Culture Experience Center, the Game Communication Education Family Camp, and the Game Concert.

The Game in Life Contest will be held next month. This contest collects and awards stories from users who have experienced positive changes through games. The winners will be announced in September, and their works will be produced as books or videos and distributed nationwide.

Additionally, the 34th Game Culture Experience Center will be established to commemorate the 20th anniversary. The center is a facility equipped with mobile devices, tablets, VR experience equipment, and racing devices for special schools. This project, started by Netmarble in 2008 to reduce the information gap for students with disabilities, will see the 34th center built in August in Guro-gu, Seoul, where Netmarble’s headquarters is located.

In October, the Game Communication Education Family Camp will be held at Netmarble’s headquarters as a one-day camp. This experiential program allows parents and children to create a family culture through games. The camp is planned for about 100 participants, including parents and children, from local children’s centers in Guro-gu, Seoul.

The Game Concert will be held under the theme "Games and Science." It invites high school students, university students, and job seekers to Netmarble’s headquarters for discussion-based lectures on various topics centered on the gaming industry and future visions. To commemorate the 20th anniversary in December, a Game Concert featuring Netmarble executives as speakers will be held.

Seungwon Lee, CEO of Netmarble, said, "To mark our 20th anniversary, we have decided to expand the Netmarble Culture Foundation’s social contribution projects from one-time events to year-round relay formats. We will take the lead in fostering a healthy gaming culture throughout society and creating diverse cultural values."
