With NFTs becoming popular assets amongst celebrities, they are now essentially the “trading cards” of the younger generation that can be flaunted across social media and traded online.

Suk-yeol has already listed 4000 NFTs on the CCCV marketplace, featuring pictures of himself. Each digital asset is sold for 50,000 Korean Wons, which is about $41.09. While there hasn’t been a very high demand for these NFTs, with only 30 sold at the moment of writing, the candidate is hoping to issue even more tokens, over 22K to be exact.
