      "Cyworld's minihompies create strategic spaces where personal relationships are consolidated through the management of offline relational dialectics. These spaces are tightly linked to the counter-world of unmediated interactions. For Cyworld users, the system represents an aspect of reality itself, inseparable from their "real" lives, because it is within those spaces that users search for and construct their true identities. The era of new communication technologies appears to have introduced a new dialectical dilemma: a tension between the offline world and its online counterpart."
