Virtual Reality talks to the dying daughter's mother

A nine-minute clip from a Korean channel has gone viral on social media in which a mother talks to her daughter via virtual reality who passed away in 2016.

The clip, which has been uploaded to YouTube, has been viewed more than 10 million views and has been hotly debated.

A baby girl named Nayeon died of leukemia in 2016, and now a Korean television has met her mother's daughter through virtual reality.

At the beginning of the video, Nayeon is busy playing in a park, while she runs to her mother and asks, "Amy, where were you? I missed you alot. Did you miss me? " Her mother Jung Ji, with flowing tears, stretches her arms towards her daughter, has her hair trimmed and tells her, "I missed you so much, Neon."

But in fact, Jung was standing in front of the green screen in a studio wearing headphones and touch-sensitive gloves from Virtual Reality while he was wearing a pendant in his neck holding his daughter's ashes. Neon's father, on the other hand, was watching the scene with his three children wiping tears.

During the video, Jung and the bride sat at the table together and sang "Happy Birthday" to celebrate Nayeon's birthday. While lighting the candles, Nayeon wished her a birthday that I wished my mum didn't cry.

The video has been widely criticized, but many people have called meeting with the scandalous through virtual reality a positive thing.

After the Manhwa Broadcasting Corporation (MBC) 's documentary, iMateU, many viewers expressed their sympathy and cooperation for the war. One said, "My mother passed away unexpectedly two years ago, and I wish I could meet her through virtual reality."

But media columnist Park Song says that the documentary exploits human pain. He told AFP News Agency, "It is understandable that a grieving mother wants to meet her late daughter. I will do the same. The problem is that the broadcaster has taken advantage of a weak mother who lost her child for the sake of audience ratings. "

He added that if the mother of the girl had been guided before the film was made, no psychologist would approve of it.

It took eight months to make the film, and the filmmakers insisted that the purpose was to comfort the girl's family rather than promote virtual reality in South Korea.

One producer told reporters that the technology offered a new way to meet his loved ones even after his death.

Jung has his daughter's name and date of birth tattoo on his arm. They hope that such programs can give comfort to those who have lost loved ones.

Jang also mentioned it in his blog, "Although it was a very short time but I was really happy at the moment."
