This promotion is an experiential part-time position where selected individuals play the role of an NPC (Non-Player Character) in the 'Maple Island Zone.' The opportunity to directly experience the world of the popular game 'MapleStory' in a theme park, the exceptional hourly wage of 1 million won, and the special benefits provided to part-timers all contributed to the overwhelming interest from the very beginning of recruitment.

A total of five part-timers were selected fairly based on application details through 'Danggeun Alba,' a region-based job search service. On June 5, the part-timers will wear NPC-themed uniforms in the Maple Island Zone and be responsible for guiding visitors through special quests. The total work experience lasts one hour.

Each part-timer will receive MapleStory collaboration goods worth a total of 50,000 won, including a 'Pink Bean LED Popcorn Bucket' and an 'Orange Mushroom Plush Hat.' In addition, they will have priority access to three new MapleStory-themed attractions (Stone Express, Eos Tower, and Arcana Ride), which opened in April this year.

Unlike typical part-time jobs, this event has drawn attention for offering a unique experiential opportunity that combines a theme park setting with a game IP (intellectual property). The company explained that despite the short working hours, the high compensation and benefits helped spread the word, resulting in approximately 40,000 applicants.

Meanwhile, Lotte World Adventure's Maple Island Zone operates year-round, and the spring season festival 'MapleStory in Lotte World' will run until June 14.
