[Asia Economy Reporter Jin-ho Kim] Kwon Kwang-seok, CEO of Woori Bank, has embarked on a communication initiative with MZ (Millennial + Generation Z) generation employees through a 'metaverse platform.'


On the 13th, according to Woori Bank, CEO Kwon created his own character under the theme "Woori-MZ Meeting via Metaverse" and engaged with MZ generation employees. The metaverse is a compound word of "meta," meaning virtual or abstract, and "universe," meaning the real world. It refers to a space that blends a three-dimensional virtual world.


In the virtual world, CEO Kwon used the nickname "Jeon Gwang-seokhwa" to break away from the direct roles of bank president and employee, fostering a horizontal communication session.


Utilizing metaverse platform features, the event included ▲getting familiar with avatars ▲ice-breaking games (MZ, we want to know your thoughts / What MZ expects from Woori Bank) ▲group photo sessions and selfie events, conducted in various ways that resonated with MZ generation employees.


CEO Kwon said, "The communication time with MZ generation employees using the metaverse was a new attempt that encompasses digital trends and generations," adding, "I believe it was a valuable opportunity for Woori Bank members to understand each other more deeply."



Starting with this event, Woori Bank plans to provide employees with opportunities to utilize the metaverse platform and review various services that can be implemented within the metaverse. A Woori Bank official stated, "We will continue to respond swiftly to the latest digital trends and accelerate digital innovation based on the active digital mindset of all employees."
