Jin x MapleStory: A Magical Collaboration with BTS Member Jin in the World of MapleStory
BTS member Jin is teaming up with Nexon, a South Korean-Japanese video game developer, for a new collaboration in the popular online game MapleStory. This partnership will bring a range of new in-game items and events to celebrate MapleStory's 23rd anniversary, marking Jin's second collaboration with the game. Jin will be involved in the game's development process, including brainstorming ideas and pitching updates, and will also lend his voice to a non-playable character in the game.
The new content in MapleStory will be set in a magical garden-themed environment, where players can collect special items like fertiliser and potions to grow magical plants and enhance their character levels. Players will have the opportunity to roll in-game dice for a chance to win special prizes, and a limited-time character outfit inspired by Jin, featuring his handwriting designs, will be available for purchase until Jun 17.
This collaboration follows Jin's first partnership with Nexon in 2022, where he participated in content as an "intern" at Nexon and worked with developers on game ideas. Jin has expressed his fondness for MapleStory and has previously played the game with fans. A four-episode series showcasing Jin's involvement in the game's development will be released on MapleStory's official YouTube channel, with the first episode already available as of Mar 23.
In conclusion, fans of BTS and MapleStory can look forward to exciting new content and events in the game, thanks to Jin's collaboration with Nexon. Stay tuned for more updates and enjoy the magical world of MapleStory with Jin's special touch.
