Seoul’s Gangnam area is considered one of the representative bustling districts in Seoul, attracting a large number of people with various shops and brands densely packed.

A short distance away from the “KAKAO FRIENDS” store, which sells various products featuring characters from KakaoTalk, one can find the “LINE FRIENDS” store.

“More widely used overseas than domestically, LINE Messenger”

While in South Korea, most people use “KakaoTalk,” overseas, “LINE” is widely preferred. LINE, developed by South Korea’s Naver for smartphones, interestingly gained more popularity abroad than domestically. Especially in neighboring Japan, most people use “LINE.” As a result, scenes in anime directed by Makoto Shinkai depict characters communicating through “LINE.”
