Even the Exchange of Realistic Emotions
Held for a Week Starting on the 17th
Metaverse platform ‘MAEGATOWN’ will hold a special exhibition from the 17th to the 24th under the theme of ‘Going to meet father in a time machine’.
‘The main character in the novel ‘Lost Time’ is said to have eaten madeleine and looked back on the time he had lost. But when I saw my granddaughter eating rice with water, I thought of my father. At that moment, I got on a time machine and went back in time. I met my father whom I had missed…’ (Excerpt from the exhibition at Megatown)
Metaverse platform ‘MAEGATOWN’ has created a special space to honor the late Chairman Jeong Jin-gi, founder of Maeil Business Newspaper.
This exhibition, which will be held from the 17th to the 24th, is themed ‘Going to Meet Father in a Time Machine’ and depicts Jeong Hyeon-hee, the director of the Jeong Jin-gi Media and Culture Foundation, communicating with her father, founder Jeong Jin-gi, in Megatown, a virtual space that is in touch with reality.
In particular, this space was created to enable realistic emotional exchanges by implementing real voices using artificial intelligence (AI) technology, allowing Megatown users to experience special experiences such as watching two people having a real conversation.
Regarding this, the Megatown side said, “This is a special exhibition where you can ride a time machine to the past, experience the warm conversation between the two, and even get a glimpse into their past achievements.”
Additionally, the company explained that through this exhibition space, users of Megatown will be able to meet Chairman Jeong Hyeon-hee’s father whom she missed so much, and have time to look into various topics that they were unable to discuss while the founder was still alive.

Below are some of the main contents of the special exhibition.
‘Father: I think the most difficult time was the media merger in 1980. I was very worried regarding what would happen to the Maeil Kyungjae family who believed in me and followed me. My heart was very heavy with responsibility. Even thinking regarding it now, it’s horrible. Fortunately, the merger didn’t happen.’
‘Daughter: I remember. My father suddenly became silent, and for several months he smoked all evening, and in the morning there were a lot of cigarettes in the ashtray. What was the hardest thing that happened following that?’
‘Father: It was when the newspaper company was first established. We had to get approval from the competent authority to import used printing presses, but the minister wouldn’t meet us, so we had to go to him 36 times before we might finally get approval. It was a very desperate time, wasn’t it?’
‘Daughter: Dad, your life was like a stick. You actually showed me a stick, didn’t you? And when you put your index fingers on both hands and said, “It’s sticking. It’s sticking!!”, you demonstrated in front of us that the two fingers would stick together.’
‘Father: Did I do that?’
Meanwhile, Megatown is meeting metaverse users with various themes that are not limited to materials and objects, such as a memorial hall where people can commemorate the anniversary of a loved one and once once more engrave the deceased’s wishes in their hearts, as well as special exhibitions commemorating various events such as birthdays, weddings, and 70th birthdays.
There are also a steady stream of cases where art exhibitions and concerts by actual creators are being reborn as dedicated metaverse spaces for those who cannot participate in person due to time and distance limitations.
