Extraordinary Attorney Woo Metaverse: Connecting Imagination to Virtual Reality
The image of a whale floating in the sky – a vision from the imagination of the brilliant attorney Woo Young-woo that we witnessed in the series *Extraordinary Attorney Woo*. This drama, centering on an autistic attorney, captivated audiences across South Korea and globally on Netflix, accumulating over 402 million hours of viewership.
Now, everyone can immerse themselves in Woo Young-woo’s world through the renowned Metaverse platform, The Sandbox.
An initial batch of 1,560 avatars has been announced, with varying levels of rarity. Each avatar is inspired by Woo Young-woo’s fashion from the series, with movements, walking, and dancing styles mimicking her on-screen behavior.
Attorney Woo in the Metaverse: Full Series Experience
With avatars available, The Sandbox promises a full Metaverse Experience with various levels for fans to explore. Players will be able to visit key locations from the drama, including Hanada Law Firm, the courtroom, Woo Young-woo’s favorite kimbap restaurant, and the iconic whale scene in the sky. There will also be exclusive giveaways and fan activities, such as random emoji drops on KakaoTalk, specifically for avatar holders. More details on these perks are expected to follow.
Registration for the avatar minting is already open (Allowlist) from today until October 9, 2023, with minting starting on October 9 at a price of 80 SAND, approximately USD 20. For those without an Allowlist, public minting begins on October 11 at 100 SAND, roughly USD 25. Interested participants can join the Allowlist at heymint (https://heymint.xyz/woo-young-woo-collection).
Soft Power in the Metaverse?
Prior to launching the Woo Young-woo Metaverse, the series also introduced an NFT project called the *Extraordinary Whales Club NFT Project*. This initiative aimed to raise awareness and support for individuals with autism worldwide. Part of the proceeds from the NFT auction was donated to the World Wide Fund for Nature and the Autism Society of Korea, a South Korean non-profit organization.
The integration of Metaverse into this experience allows fans to interact with the world of Woo Young-woo in ways that watching the show alone could not. From walking around her world to interacting with various elements of the series, the Metaverse presents a new form of promotion and cultural engagement.
