UGC/UCC gifts for Korean Valentines Day

February 15th, 2007 | J Lee | Seoul Searching, Trends, Innovation

Valentines Day in Korea is celebrated like Japan, where the women shower their love interests with treats and gifts. This year, some women have chosen to be creative and crafting a video instead of buying mainstream chocolate.

Instead of buying traditional treats, 25-year-old office worker Yoo Hae-in used a computer to craft a video to give to her boyfriend of five years.

She then decided let the world see it after one of the country’s biggest Internet portals, www.daum.net, asked users to contribute user-generated content (UGC) to their Web site for Valentine’s Day.

User generated content or UCC (user created content) as it is known locally should be a bigger presence for the upcoming White Day (March 14) when its the guys turn to be creative.

Again, what is going on with Korea now will more than likely occur elsewhere down the road. Its society is a Dream Society, already ubiquitous where they produce, consume, and interact on their own without aid.
