KakaoTalk Adds Localized KPop Star Emoticons with Carrier BillingIndonesia

KakaoTalk, the popular group-messaging app for iPhone, Android, Windows Phone, and BlackBerry, adds five sets of KPop star emoticons in its digital item store for Indonesia users. The list of KPop stars is: Girls Generation, KARA, SHINee, Rainbow, and Yoo Seung Ho.

With the Korean wave and KPop culture on the high in Indonesia, KakaoTalk has captured that demand with new KPop star emoticons. All of the emoticons are animated with texts in both Bahasa Indonesia and English. The KPop star emoticons can be enjoyed by KakaoTalk users only for IDR 3,300 per set through carrier billing/pulsa(credits). For now, this carrier billing option is only for Telkomsel users but KakaoTalk is expanding its reach to other carriers soon. This only available on Android Item Store, but iOS users can still receive and use the emoticons through the gift feature from their Android friends.

Indonesia is the first international market after Japan where Kakao released localized KPop star emoticons, which proves how serious its push in the country where the mobile usage is huge and smartphone adoption is rising.

Indonesia is one of the most rapidly growing markets for us, reaching the record-high message volume on 17th January 2013 when there was a flood disaster in Jakarta. We hope the emoticon addition helps further enrich Indonesian users’ experience with KakaoTalk., a spokesperson of Kakao comments.
