The Vita500 Big Event was an event held on Korean Ragnarok Online (kRO) between 6 July 2004 and 3 August 2004 as a joint marketing event between KwangDong Pharmaceuticals Corporation, the manufacturer of the Vita500 Vitamin C drink and Gravity Corporation. The event was started as a joint venture between the two after the pharmaceutical company wanted to expand its reach to the target market that the Ragnarok Online game provided - namely teenagers and those in their 20s[1][2].
