The metaverse opens up a whole new world of economic prospects, from virtual music events to NFT-based products, to name a few. In addition, popular music artists Snoop Dogg, Imagine Dragons, and BTS have conducted virtual concerts in the metaverse.

The concept was introduced in 1992, and since Facebook rebranded as Meta in late October 2021, you hear about metaverse everywhere. However, how many of you know what the metaverse is? Is it going to be the next big thing in human history?
