Welcome, Here to Miyeoji Baengdui
...
Did you follow the blue butterfly?
Miyeojibaengdui, a mysterious gateway connecting the afterlife and the living world.
We invite you to the world of infinite possibilities that unfolds there.
From now on, you will be able to experience a performance featuring the unique charm of Jeju in the metaverse.
In this space where virtual and reality, past and present intertwine, the performer's avatar will guide you. You can experience the mystique and beauty of Jeju's designated National Intangible Cultural Heritage, Jeju Grand Gut.
Through interactive gaming elements and media effects, we offer a new sense of enjoyment that you haven't experienced in traditional art performances, allowing you to explore a free space beyond the constraints of the stage.

문이 닫히면, 또 새로운 문이 열리는 법.
때로는 단호한 끊어냄이 새 길을 내는 열쇠가 된다.
혼란스러웠던 세상에 활로 질서를 긋고
다시, 온전한 세상으로.
