It is said that there will be a like function in Kakao Talk profile picture. You can comment or like my profile picture in the future. It is said that you can also create a feed that is only visible to your friends or send a gift right away. It seems to go beyond closed chat rooms to strengthen interaction and UX that connects people like other social networks. In addition, we announced plans to strengthen the function of the open chat room and launch an independent app called Open Link to grow into a space where creators can communicate.

As plans for the second half of the year, we announced the release of an open chatting app with the possibility of overseas use, a webtoon targeting North America, a game targeting Japan and North America, and overseas roaming. It seems to focus on expanding overseas markets rather than expanding domestic business categories. Can Kakao be loved overseas?
