Kakao Also Develops Voice SNS... Kakao's Version of 'Clubhouse' Launch Imminent
[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Nahum] It was confirmed on the 27th that Kakao is preparing to launch a voice-based social networking service (SNS).
A Kakao official said in a phone call on the same day, "It is true that we are currently preparing the related service," and added, "The launch date is not yet decided, but it could be unveiled as early as June."
The service Kakao is launching this time is a concept similar to 'Clubhouse,' an SNS also based on voice. Clubhouse is a service launched by the US startup Alpha Exploration in March last year, and it attracted many users when it started service in Korea in February this year.
