This study investigates the preferences and purchase intentions of ZEPETO users regarding fashion brands that have recently joined ZEPETO, a leading metaverse platform in South Korea. The study surveyed 279 users in their 20s to 40s about their usage patterns, preferences, and purchase intentions toward products from brands like MCM, DKNY, Nike, and Puma. The results reveal that users in their 20s exhibited higher preference and purchase intention for Nike products, as well as greater purchase intention for Puma products. On the other hand, users in their 40s displayed a higher preference and purchase intention for MCM and DKNY products and a stronger preference for Puma products compared to other age groups. Users in their 30s showed a lower preference and purchase intention for both MCM and Puma products, a lower purchase intention for DKNY products, but a preference for Nike products compared to other age groups. Furthermore, men showed a higher preference and purchase intention for most brands, including MCM, Nike, and Puma. These results suggest that fashion brands on ZEPETO need to implement effective marketing strategies targeting users in their 20s and 40s, as well as male users. This study lays the groundwork for further research on the ZEPETO metaverse platform and provides foundational data for understanding user behavior, essential for establishing effective promotional strategies.

Job-centered support for soldiers scheduled to be discharged or discharged is part of the military transition support policy and is a policy that supports them to return to society from the military and perform the role needed by the nation. In order to create a productive military service environment for young soldiers without career breaks, the Armed Forces Soldier Job Fair is held every year at KINTEX in Ilsan. This study proposed a Metaverse job fair for young soldiers of the MZ generation using the service design process and media prototype. During the research process, it was confirmed that young soldiers' interest in and need for employment is increasing, and the importance of employment support programs within the military is emerging, and the Armed Forces Soldier Job Fair Metaverse Hall utilizes the ZEPETO platform to solve consumer-centered problems. By producing a prototype, we proposed that soldiers who would like to participate in the job fair but find it difficult to do so due to unit conditions could participate through mobile devices without spatial or time constraints. As a result of the study, it is expected that job fairs using the Metaverse platform will contribute to increasing the possibility of productive military service for soldiers, improving the efficiency of military administrative work by utilizing digital technology, and spreading a positive image of military service.
