[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] The Democratic Party of Korea's Gwangju Gi-eon-chi Election Committee, composed of the 2030 youth generation, is leading a new style of election campaigning by opening an eco-friendly election office without disposable products and unveiling a virtual election office using the metaverse.

The Gi-eon-chi election committee announced on the 26th that it will hold the opening ceremony of 'Myeongtaverse (Lee Jae-myung + Metaverse)' at 4 p.m. on the 27th.

'Myeongtaverse' is a virtual space election office created using the metaverse platform 'Gather.town.'

It virtually reproduces the area around the old Jeonnam Provincial Office building, which bears the scars of the May 18 Democratic Uprising, and the May 18 Democratic Square with its fountain.

Additionally, separate zones such as Jeonil Building 245, camping zone, photo zone, Myeongta lounge, and game zone have been established, allowing visitors to enjoy various contents and interact with other users.

The old Jeonnam Provincial Office section houses a policy promotion center, videos of candidate Lee Jae-myung, and the Gwangju Gi-eon-chi election committee promotion center.

At Jeonil Building 245, an animation depicting the helicopter shootings during the May 18 incident is screened, and the game zone hosts quizzes related to candidate Lee Jae-myung and the presidential election.

Co-chairpersons of the Gwangju Gi-eon-chi election committee also act as hosts within the virtual space, serving as operators of Myeongtaverse.

In particular, to celebrate the opening, an event called 'Find the Hidden Lee Jae-myung' is held, where participants search for the 'Lee Jae-myung avatar' hidden somewhere on the Myeongtaverse map. Those who find the avatar will receive a handwritten autograph from the candidate.

'Myeongtaverse' is expected to function as an 'online plaza' where supporters can connect 24/7 during the COVID-19 situation to enjoy and share opinions together.

Accordingly, the Gwangju co-chairpersons plan to regularly log in and continue communication activities with supporters.

Meanwhile, the Gwangju Gi-eon-chi election committee pledged to open the virtual election office 'Myeongtaverse' at its first full meeting on December 8 last year.

This idea was inspired by U.S. President Joe Biden, who, during his candidacy, opened 'Biden Island' within the popular Nintendo game 'Animal Crossing,' receiving positive responses.
