Webzen Unveils ‘Dragon Sword’ and ‘Tervis’ Cosplay Extravaganza at G-Star 2024
Ah, the world of cosplay—a place where fantasy collides with fabric, and where being “dressed to the nines” means your costume has more sequins than a disco ball! And who better to strut their stuff in outlandish outfits than the cream of the cosplay crop? Webzen is all set to dazzle at G-Star 2024 with not one, but two exciting new entries, ready for their close-ups: ‘Dragon Sword’ and ‘Tervis’.
The Characters Come Alive
Picture this: you’re at the ‘G-Star 2024’ exhibition hall, and suddenly, characters leap off the screens, transformed into living, breathing fashion statements. That’s exactly what’s happening with cosplay models like Aza Miyuko, stepping into the shoes of ‘Dragon Sword’s’ character, Seris. With a name like that, she better be a wizard—no one wants to see a flat-footed, clueless court wizard! And trust me, fashion faux pas in these costumes can cause cataclysmic consequences—like losing a battle or, heaven forbid, a follower on social media!
Then there’s Daegi, donning the robes of ‘Ornette’. Let me tell you, if there’s anything worse than a poorly executed spell, it’s a poorly executed cosplay. And judging by the buzz around these models, it seems like Webzen is unleashing a visual feast that could make even the dullest RPG player gasp in delight.
Star-Studded Performances
The stars of ‘Dragon Sword’ are joined by the charismatic cast of ‘Tervis’, where you’ll see both Korean and Japanese models coming together to make your eyes water with joy—or perhaps that’s just my reaction to the sheer flamboyance of it all! Racing models Soi and Maeng Na-hyun (a.k.a. DJ Cheese—yes, really) will be enchanting the crowd as they embody ‘Lin’, a beast-man cat, and ‘Delia’, an inquisitor. Because we all know an inquisitor dressed as a cat can only lead to delightful chaos!
And if you think that’s it—hold onto your pixelated hats! We’ve got Nomachi Mano and Yukimura Yuno, bringing to life the characters of wandering exorcist ‘Haru’ and head maid ‘Michelle’. A chaotic mashup of supernatural and hospitality—just imagine the could-be hotel reviews! “The service was ghostly, but the maid was heavenly!”
Cosplay and Fun(!)
Now, while I could spend all day raving about the enchanting visuals, the main event is the multitude of activities lined up at the BTC booth in Webzen’s Exhibition Hall 1. Visitors are in for a treat with mini-games that promise more engagement than a Saturday night binge-watch session on Netflix! You’ll be able to snap group photos with these fabulously adorned characters, getting that perfect social media shot—and trust me, nothing says “I’m living my best life” like a selfie with a plush cat-man cosplayer.
And autograph hounds, rejoice! There’s an opportunity to snag signatures and perhaps engage in some lively banter with the models—just remember to bring something slightly more creative than a plain old comic book. Some lucky participants can even walk away with exclusive accessories from the models, because who wouldn’t want to leave G-Star adorned in something that would make a troll at a fantasy convention green with envy?

It’s not just about wearing a costume; it’s about celebrating the narratives and emotions these characters evoke.
**Editor:** do you have any advice for aspiring cosplayers looking to make their mark at conventions like G-Star?
**Aza Miyuko:** Absolutely! My advice is to start with characters you genuinely love. Don’t feel pressured to go big; begin with something manageable to hone your skills. Most importantly, have fun with it! The joy and passion you bring will shine brighter than any costume details.
