After the Covid-19 pandemic, which caused tourism in South Korea to be interrupted due to the closing of borders, the Korean government has come up with a lot of ideas for promoting tourism. Among those ideas, The Tourism Association of Korea is holding a contest focused on Kpop, specifically Kpop dancing and singing.
The idea is to engage as many people as possible so that the metaverse “kpopavatar” becomes a viral trend. Through this contest, those who like to dance and sing to kpop songs will have the opportunity to promote their videos and be shrunk into a kpopavatar to watch a kpop show directly from South Korea.

If you don’t know how to dance or sing, you can also participate by making a creative video watching a kpop performance. Creativity is what counts. It’s your time to record a video doing or watching your favorite performances! It’s the perfect opportunity to get to know Korea and see your favorite groups up close.
