[The Age of Virtual Humans] **Choi Dong-won, an iron arm who returned to meta-human technology**
“Wow, I’m leaving. What are you doing? Crying and screaming and making a fuss. Hit everyone. You’ll never watch baseball again. You did it last year as well. What’s that ball game like?
Familiar baseball clothes, familiar glasses, familiar tone of voice. In a 31-second advertisement, Choi Dong-won (53 years old), who sold iron arms, appears. After waiting in the dugout, he gets on the mound. Then he pitches with all his might. He has a cool ceremony (afternoon) to see if he likes the ball.
Those who remember and loved the deceased are moments of tears. This is because he died in 2011 at the age of 53, but was revived with meta-human technology for 31 seconds in 2022, the first in 11 years. This advertisement is a promotional video for Com2uS Professional Baseball V22, a baseball game that started service on April 5th. Com2uS, who made this game, resurrected the deceased with its meta-human technology. He didn’t miss a single thing, such as his tone of voice (Busan dialect), pitching form, mannerisms, and celebrations.
Nothing else was overlooked. It is the will of the deceased to train baseball youth.
On the 30th of last month (March), Com2uS sponsored Choi Dong-Won’s baseball class with the widow of Shin Hyeon-Ju, the representative of the bereaved family.
Dongwon Choi Baseball Class is a youth baseball class operated by the Dongwon Choi Memorial Foundation since 2015. The target audience is elementary school students in Busan. It not only expands the base of baseball, but also provides opportunities for talented and underprivileged people to participate.
This donation, delivered by Com2us and the bereaved family, will be used to purchase equipment for the baseball class and support players.
Ms. Shin said, “Thank you for vividly restoring my former appearance. I am happy to be doing good things with people who remember my husband. done,” he said.
Kang Jin-soo, secretary general of the Choi Dong-won Memorial Project Association, said, “This is the 8th year this year, and the children’s free baseball class for Choi Dong-won has suffered from a lack of budget every year.
A Com2uS official said, “Inheriting the wishes of the deceased, we promoted sponsorship to help young players who will lead the baseball world.”
