How to Set Up KakaoTalk Account and Things to Know About KakaoStory

KakaoTalk is a Korean social media messaging app that was launched by Kakao Corp (now Daum Kakao) in 2010. In a quick period, this app became the top messenger app in South Korea and in many other countries, including Vietnam. Over 52 million active users worldwide in the fourth quarter of 2020, KakaoTalk is the most frequently-used messaging apps in the world.

Following the huge success of KakaoTalk, Daum Kakao launched a picture-sharing social network app, in 2012 called KakaoStory. This KakaoStory app allows users to take, edit, and share pictures and follow content shared by brands and friends. By using the KakaoTalk app we used to chat, share posts, comment, like in the posts of other accounts that you follow, and group video calls like other applications such as Facebook Messenger, Instagram, Sina Weibo, QQ, VK, and Wechat. This app provides various new features to its users. A few years back one YouTuber applause this app as “the perfect marriage between Facebook and Instagram.”

This article gives more information about KakaoTalk and guides you on how to signup your KakaoStory account on PC and mobile. 

KaKaoTalk Users Statistics

As per the 2nd quarter of 2020 Statista’s KaKoTalk Report,

  • 99.2% of South Korea people using KakaoTalk
  • KakaoTalk global monthly active users: 52 Million 
  • KakaoTalk Korea monthly active users: 45 Million
  • Total KakaoStory users: 18.7 mm unique users in October 2019. 

According to emarketer and Nielsen KoreanClick, users spent an average of 849.6 minutes in the app in November 2016 which was nearly five times spent with the Line app and 30 times spent with Facebook Messenger.

Kakao’s CEO, Sirgoo Lee, once said in Business Insider that he sees KakaoTalk as more of a social network than a messaging app. Chatting and making calls are the app’s core functionalities, but users can also play games through this app, make online payments, book hotel rooms, create restaurant reservations, and send gifts to each other (from coffee shop vouchers to electronic devices and even jewelry too) via KakaoTalk’s Gift Shop.

How Are Brands Using KakaoTalk?

KakaoTalk also provides a brand page feature called PlusFriend, which enables brands and celebrities to create and maintain a dedicated page in the app. Brands can post updates to their page or send direct messages to their followers, including coupons, product information, photo albums, audio, video clips, events by paying some amount to KaKaoTalk.
