SY Meta Diary -- ZEPETO That Has Changed So Much From Early COVID: ZEPETO -- now the most famous metaverse platform in Korea with the most domestic users. Here anyone can create an avatar expressing their personality freely, explore various virtual spaces, and interact with people around the world. ZEPETO biggest attraction is the ability to try various activities in a virtual world that cannot be experienced in reality. The ZEPETO evolution from early COVID: when ZEPETO first gained widespread adoption during COVID lockdowns, it was primarily used for simple avatar-based social interaction; over time the platform developed into a comprehensive creator ecosystem where users design and sell avatar clothing and accessories; brand collaborations (Nike, Gucci, Ralph Lauren) transformed ZEPETO from a social platform to a digital fashion marketplace; the creator economy where users earn real money from virtual fashion design has become a distinguishing feature; the educational potential of ZEPETO in teaching digital design and entrepreneurship to younger generations is increasingly recognized. The contrast with platforms that declined: ZEPETO survived the post-COVID period because it built genuine creator-to-consumer relationships that provided ongoing value independent of social isolation motivation.
