According to a survey by the Korea Information Society Development Institute, only 4.2% of South Korean citizens regularly use metaverse services. The survey, which was conducted last year and published in April, found that children and teenagers under the age of 20 made up 39.2% of South Korean metaverse users. The majority of surveyed individuals reported using the metaverse for entertainment, particularly games, while a smaller percentage used it for social interactions. Despite the South Korean government's investment in the metaverse industry, the survey results suggest that local adoption of the technology has not accelerated.
