The Seoul government has taken a major step forward in the development of the metaverse by launching “Metaverse Seoul.” This public metaverse project, led by the city’s mayor, Oh Se-hoon, is designed to allow citizens to interact with virtual representatives of the government in order to handle civil complaints and consultations. The program, which is set to be open to the public in 2023, will include services such as a fintech lab, a corporate support center, and the city’s top 10 tourist attractions. It will reportedly also facilitate a youth mentoring counseling room, civil service counseling, and tax services. This
