[Asia Economy Reporter Buaeri] Kakao announced on the 18th that it has launched a 'GiveTicon' product that allows users to participate in donations through the purchase of emoticons to support recovery efforts from damage caused by heavy rain.

GiveTicon is a mobile sponsorship product where a portion of the purchase amount is donated when buying emoticons. Since its debut in 2016 on the Kakao Emoticon Store, it has been released with various themes and concepts in collaboration with numerous artists.

The 12th GiveTicon product is 'Chamsae and Friends 2' by illustrator Kim Chamsae, expressing warm consolation through 24 emoticons featuring the artist's distinctive vivid and bright colors and drawing style.

Purchases and donation participation are available at the Kakao Emoticon Store until the 31st of this month.

A Kakao representative said, "We have united the intentions of Kakao and artist Kim Chamsae to help the areas affected by the unexpected heavy rain," adding, "We will continue to strive to provide easy and simple donation experiences like GiveTicon so that more users can participate in mobile sponsorship."
