Recently, metaverse technology is being used in various service industries such as games, entertainment, manufacturing, distribution, advertising, and education. Studies on the correlation between the continuous use of devices used in metaverse content are still insufficient. In order to be more immersed in the metaverse, it is necessary to develop a natural movement and an easy-to-use input device. Based on flow, this study was conducted on the topic of continuous use of metaverse contents and devices. The constituent factors of Flow, an independent variable, were set as sense of reality, immersion, and interaction. We intend to use the data of 500 male and female metaverse users for research through a survey institution. Among the flow factors that increase the continuous use of metaverse contents and devices, the factors that have the greatest influence were studied. Through the results of this study, it is intended to help establish the direction of the next-generation metaverse content and device industry.

The purpose of this study is to examine the factors influencing the intention to use the Metaverse from various angles based on the Extended Technology Acceptance Model and Value-based Adoption Model. Specifically, we examined whether there is a difference in perception of the Metaverse and in factors affecting the intention to use the Metaverse between the Metaverse experienced and non-experienced. For this purpose, the variables were classified into the technical characteristics of the Metaverse (interactivity, content quality), perceived benefits (perceived usefulness, perceived enjoyment), and perceived sacrifices (perceived risk, perceived complexity) and a survey was conducted with university students. The findings of this study indicate that the perceived interactivity, usefulness, and enjoyment of the Metaverse had a major impact on the intention to use the Metaverse for those without Metaverse experience, whereas enjoyment of the Metaverse had the greatest impact on the intention to use the Metaverse for those with Metaverse experience. Based on the study results, we provided marketing strategy implications for continuous growth and development of the Metaverse industry.

Recently, many public institutions have been conducting promotional activities using digital platforms. Communication methods using digital platforms have a very important meaning in that they can create new values that did not exist before by connecting and sharing information with various users. To this end, we tried to analyze YouTube videos of five government ministries and examine them. As a result of YouTube analysis by government ministries, most of them were mainly used as channels for policy promotion, and many were used as channels for new information. Although the message is delivered through the production of various contents, it was possible to look at cases where the target as a channel for communication was not clear and the purpose was unclear. In order to communicate with the people, it should be used as a channel for communication through content suitable for clear target setting and purpose.

We study a learner-customized lecture recommendation project using deep learning. Recommendation systems can be easily found on the web and apps, and examples using this feature include recommending feature videos by clicking users and advertising items in areas of interest to users on SNS. In this study, the sentence similarity Word2Vec was mainly used to filter twice, and the course was recommended through the Surprise library. With this system, it provides users with the desired classification of course data conveniently and conveniently. Surprise Library is a Python scikit-learn-based library that is conveniently used in recommendation systems. By analyzing the data, the system is implemented at a high speed, and deeper learning is used to implement more precise results through course steps. When a user enters a keyword of interest, similarity between the keyword and the course title is executed, and similarity with the extracted video data and voice text is executed, and the highest ranking video data is recommended through the Surprise Library.

The purpose of this study is to analyze how the movie <The Book of Fish> (2021) represents Joseon, which is slowly collapsing with the Neo-Confucian order of the 19th century shaking, and to discuss its meaning. Prior to the analysis, the analysis framework of the historical drama was presented considering the narration characteristics of the historical drama. Using the analysis framework of historical dramas, we confirmed that <The Book of Fish> is representing the image of Jeong Yak-jeon and Jang Chang-dae living their lives as independent individuals between the limitations and possibilities of the times based on the plot structure of the narrative of exile. Through the central memory and surplus memory created through plot and style elements such as contrast between black and white and color images, voice-over narration, chinese poetry subtitles and music, the film asks us universal questions about what it takes to live as an independent individual.

This study is an example of a Cinema Therapy class through the movie Life of Pi (2013). Cinema Therapy proceeds through the process of identification, empathy, projection, and observational learning through the cinema. Through research, students objectively examine the situation of the characters in the movie, identify themselves, and empathize with them. Students evaluate the situation of the character in the movie, and indirectly experience the hardships facing the character in the movie through the answer to "What would you do if I were the main character?" and think about what they would do. I admire the outstanding points of the main character and reflect on my life. Through this process, students examine the situation of their emotions and problems and specifically suggest ways to solve them. In the end, students' emotions can be fully healed through the movie. Healing through the cinema should start with the selection of the cinema in consideration of the healer's client. It is also necessary to sufficiently present a specific method of applying this. It is expected that the cinema healing plan will be able to develop further by presenting various healing methods in the future.
