Hello rhythm gamers!
The largest arcade rhythm game center in the Honam region, located in Gwangju, Korea .
This is JINSEOK from GAMEPLAZA .
This is JINSEOK from GAMEPLAZA .
Since the outbreak of COVID-19 four years ago, the unprecedented pandemic has caused the arcade rhythm game market to shrink significantly both domestically and internationally.
In Korea, only a few game centers, including our Game Plaza, are trying to keep the arcade rhythm game tradition alive.
Before becoming a manager running a game center, I am a user who has been enjoying arcade rhythm games since 2000 .
I also hope that rhythm games will become more popular and that people will be able to enjoy them more comfortably and enjoyably.
To this end, we have tried to increase the satisfaction of our customers by increasing the number of devices and paying attention to maintenance and upkeep.
However, in a significantly contracted market, maintaining the status quo was limited.
In order to widely publicize the appeal of arcade rhythm games and ultimately further activate the rhythm game market, we have decided to operate and support arcade rhythm game events.
In particular, while watching the Japan-Korea exchange event CONNECT, which was held thanks to the success of BPL, I realized that 'there are many users who are interested in such events.'
Arcade Rhythm Game Exchange: CONNECT is as follows.
CONNECT is a competition where top players from each country gather together and compete.
This is an event that can be viewed directly offline.

I hope you will join us in following in those efforts.

CONNECT3 : SOUND VOLTEX KOREA teaser
(Scheduled to be held for 2 days, August 24/25, 2024)
What is CONNECT?
This is a Korea-Japan exchange event where players from international competitions and professional leagues in Korea and Japan meet in one place, breaking down national and linguistic barriers and becoming one to compete in a way that everyone can enjoy regardless of winning or losing .
The previous CONNECT was held twice in Seoul and Tokyo, featuring beatmania IIDX as the main event, and both ended successfully.
In this CONNECT3
This CONNECT3: SOUND VOLTEX KOREA
It will be held on August 24th and 25th, 2024 at GAMEPLAZA in Gwangju .
It will be held on August 24th and 25th, 2024 at GAMEPLAZA in Gwangju .
We will mainly be running the popular title SOUND VOLTEX from the BEMANI series, as well as beatmania IIDX and NOSTALGIA titles.
This time, about 20 of the best players representing Korea and Japan will gather together to show off their amazing skills.
We plan to provide real-time Korean-to-Japanese chat interpretation via YouTube streaming, and Japanese and English interpreters will also be available on site. We ask for your continued interest from overseas users.
Admission will be free, but we will provide benefits such as reserved seating, official limited NESiCA with Amusement IC support, cheering towels, and various limited goods, as well as fan meetings with players, through sponsorship based on the amount of donation .
※ Depending on the on-site situation, if the number of people reaches capacity, entry may be restricted.
We also have a sponsorship plan available that allows worldwide shipping (only for online sponsorship) even if you do not visit the site.
The need for sponsorship
In the past, whenever we held an event of this type, we spent a lot of money on equipment construction, operating costs, and labor costs. For this event, we invited more players than ever before, and since it will be a two-day event, we expect to incur even greater costs than before.
After hosting the CONNECT event in Seoul last year, we were left with the question, 'Can an event that is solely driven by spending be sustainable?'
Therefore, CONNECT3: SOUND VOLTEX KOREA, which is being held in Gwangju this time,
Admission is free, but we are also seeking donations .
We will proceed in the form of providing certain benefits to sponsors .
※ As free admission is provided, the venue may be crowded on the day of the event, so we ask for your understanding and consideration.
In the case of CONNECT2: TOKYO REVENGE, held by TAITO in Japan, depending on the sponsorship amount, they gave out seat tickets to the event, goods, and fan meetings including photo shoots and autograph sessions with professional athletes appearing at the event.
This CONNECT3 is benchmarking this, but we are making various preparations to ensure that it is conducted in a way that satisfies everyone who visits the site.
This is the first time I know of this type of progression in the Korean arcade rhythm game industry.
I think there are many people who feel unfamiliar with this part.
