Considering that there are 49.46 million Korean smartphone users aged 10 and above, 39% have used secondhand trading apps.

Among all generations combined, the secondhand trading app with the highest number of users was Danggeun Market, with 18.3 million users in August alone. This was followed by Bungae Jangteo with 2.93 million users and Junggonara with 1.3 million users.
