Virtual Market 2023, the theme is "Connect"
The theme of the Virtual Market throughout the year 2023 is "Connect". This year, Virtual Market will focus on deepening the connection between the "metaverse" and the "real". From metaverse to real, and from real to metaverse. Through Virtual Market, solutions will be provided to connect both directions, aiming to create a world where the metaverse and the real melt into each other, and both sides could be enriched.

About Virtual Market (also known as Vket)
The world's largest* VR event where you can buy and sell 3D items such as avatars and real products (clothes, PCs, food and drinks, etc.) at a venue in the Metaverse. It is the pioneering event of the Metaverse where people can buy and sell products, the event offers "experiences" unique to virtual space, such as riding rides, watching movies, and participating in live music performances at the venue. In addition, visitors can communicate with each other via voice, providing a realistic experience as if they were touring the city together in the real world.
The virtual market started as a place to buy and sell 3D data products between individuals. But in recent years, major companies that want to enter the metaverse business have expanded the sale of actual products, creating new possibilities for VR commerce.
