Chengdu, Sichuan, China - November 16, 2023 /MarketersMEDIA/ —

Scheduled to run for six weeks, from November 15th to the last day of 2023, the "Ice and Snow Season" themed pop-up store promises to be a unique alliance between an NFT project and a globally recognized brand.

The success of WGG, an already well-known NFT art IP, is not accidental. Originating from a doodle in 2021 by the founder, Sleepy, WGG has evolved into a freely open and innovative NFT project.

The journey can be divided into three stages: Brand Startup Phase, IP Promotion Phase, and IP Closed-loop Phase. Each phase focused on building a community, expanding brand influence, and constructing a diverse brand matrix, respectively.

WGG has been making waves with dozens of partnerships across APAC regions, North America, South Europe, and beyond. Notably, their engagement earned widespread acclaim through events like the "Shanghai City Party Map" series and an offline Halloween campaign at THE BOX, Beijing's trending shopping hub.

Furthermore, WGG remains active, recently reaching a surge in its NFT floor price to 0.8 ETH, placing it at the forefront of the world's largest NFT trading market, and attracting strong interest from NFT whales and Web3 enthusiasts worldwide.

S. Korea takes women's team bronze in compound archery

OKAZAKI, Japan — South Korea defeated Chinese Taipei for bronze in the women's compound archery team event at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games on Wednesday, bouncing right back after a narrow loss to the defending champion India earlier in the day. The trio of Park Ye-rin, Kang Yeon-seo and Park Jung-yoon beat Chen Yi-Hsuan, Chen Fang-Yi and Huang I-Jou by the score of 229-228 at Okazaki Chuo Sogo Park Multipurpose Square in Okazaki, about 50 kilometers southeast of Nagoya, the main host city. In compound archery, targets are set 50 meters away, 20 meters closer than recurve. Compound archers also use mechanical release aids and magnified sights, making the perfect score of 10 quite common. In the team competition, three archers per team each take two arrows per "end," with a maximum score of 60. The total points after four ends, or 24 arrows per team, determine the winner, with the maximum score being 240. South Korea shot a perfect 60 to Chinese Taipei's 59 in the first end, and the two countries matched each other with 58s in the next end. Chinese Taipei then edged out South Korea 56-55

Archery medalist says is grateful to be back in sport after quitting as teenager

Park Jung-yoon first entered the realm of competitive archery while in elementary school, but quit as she got into middle school. Now 29 years old, Park recalls that she wanted to explore other things in life. Years later, Park decided there was nothing she would rather do than shoot arrows for a living. When she was 25, Park picked up her bow and arrows again — first starting out in an amateur archery club that met only on weekends before eventually quitting her day job to focus on making the national team. Park won the national team trials for the compound discipline for the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games earlier this year. And on Wednesday, about four years after making her comeback to the sport, the South Korean collected two Asian Games medals — silver in the mixed team event and bronze in the women's team event. "I never regret decisions I make," Park said after the end of the mixed team final. "I am grateful to be doing something I love for a living." Park began her Asian Games campaign by joining teammates Kang Yeon-seo and Park Ye-rin for the women's team bronze in Wednesday's ear

After helping her team to a 229-228 win over Chinese Taipei in the bronze medal contest, Kang said she was determined not to let her youth get in the way of accomplishing even more.

"I will try to bring home another medal from the individual event." Kang has made it to the quarterfinals in the women's individual event, with medals scheduled to be determined Thursday.
