A new high-tech product - lab grown meat (LGM), has been gaining media attention while initiating public discourse on social media (SM) platforms. This netnographic study is based on a dataset of selected SM public posts, comments and discussions collected during 30 days in early 2023. The findings indicate that LGM is highly contradictory, while not being fully understood how it is produced or when it will become commercially available. The findings indicate that this novel food requires carefully designed marketing strategies: when naming a new product category; must allow transparency and sensibly explain all product’s attributes; and invest time and efforts to educate consumers, leading to higher adoption rates when launched on mass consumer markets, as an alternative to conventionally grown foods.

This study aimed to analyze the performance of Disney-collaborated fashion lines based on online consumer reviews. To do so, the researchers employed text mining and network analysis to identify key words in the reviews of these products. Blogs, internet cafes, and web documents provided by Naver, Daum, and YoutTube were selected as subjects for the analysis. The analysis period was limited to one year after for the 2019. Data collection and analysis were conducted using Python 3.7, Textom, and NodeXL. The research terms in question were as follows: ‘Disney fashion collaboration’ and ‘Frozen fashion collaboration’. Preliminary survey results indicated that ‘Elsa’s dress’ was the most frequently mentioned term and that the domestic fashion brand Eland Retail was the most active in selling Disney branded clothing through its own brand. The writers of reviews for Disney-collaborated fashion products were primarily mothers with daughters. Their decision to purchase these products was based upon the following factors; price, size, stability of decoration, shipping, laundry, and retailer. The motives for purchasing the product were the positive response of the consumer’s child and the satisfaction of the parents due to the child’s response. The problems to be solved included insufficient quantity of supply, delay in delivery, expensive price considering the number of times children’s clothes are worn, poor glitter decoration, faded color, contamination from laundry, and undesirable smells immediately after the purchase.

게임 산업 시장이 모바일 게임중심으로 변화하며, 모바일 게임 상의 가상전자화폐 구매는 게 임업체의 주요 수익창출요소가 되어 왔다. 특히 확률게임 원리가 도입된 캐릭터 뽑기 시스템은 가상전자화폐를 이용한 대표적인 수익창출요소이다. 본 연구에서는 그러한 게임업체 가운데서 도 이례적인 매출을 기록한 일본의 겅호 엔터테인먼트의 모바일 게임 퍼즐 앤 드래곤의 캐릭터 뽑기 시스템에 과금하는 사용자들의 심리를 분석하였다. 연구의 결과 도출된 세 가지 심리적 요인은 다음과 같다: (1) 갓 페스티벌의 확률게임에 적용되는 도박적 심리반응 추구와 인지적 오류의 발생 (2) 기간한정 갓 페스티벌과 콜라보의 희소성메시지의 전달을 통한 반응심리 (3) 친구시스템 및 캐릭터 콜렉션을 통한 개인적 만족감의 추구.
