'Place B', which was used in the education, is a digital textbook jointly developed by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety and the KT Convergence Research Institute. It is a metaverse platform where users can experience road name addresses and more in a virtual world.

Within the metaverse platform, students operated their own characters and learned the road name address system by completing various hands-on assignments and quizzes, such as 'finding address information facilities' and 'identifying current location', which allowed them to directly utilize address information facilities.

This education was provided to schools selected through a prior demand survey. Last year, classes were held at Seokbo Elementary School and Ilwol Elementary School.

County Governor Oh Dochang said, "Through road name address education utilizing the metaverse, students are given the opportunity to naturally learn about road name addresses," and added, "We will continue to promote road name address awareness so that all county residents can accurately understand and utilize road name addresses."
