ROG's photo booth looks like a good place to take pictures for Instagram. At the booth, there was a giveaway campaign where you could take a photo and post it on SNS with a hashtag.

Car manufacturers are entering the e-motorsports (e-racing) market, professional racing drivers are turning into e-racing drivers, and there is a lot of talk about e-motorsports in the industry.

VR corner is also popular
