(And in case you get the two confused, we’re talking emojis here, not emoticons, which look like this: : ) or : – ( or ^_^.
This audio clip was pulled from a real speech and you can still use this alert today.īut the thing that distinguishes Kakao from Line is not its “Obama Talk” or its bright yellow color scheme. It’s pronounced a bit like cacao, with more emphasis on the first “ka.” Better yet, just listen to Obama pronounce it in the “Obama Talk” alert. Line might be more widely used, but Kakao is king in Korea. My personal favorite is Tube, the duck in the center, but we’ll get to that later. Only because my laptop is covered in Kakao character stickers.
While deciding what to write about for this week, I kept thinking about the emoji characters from Kakao Talk, a popular messaging app in Korea similar to WhatsApp or Line.Īlthough it’s been nearly a year since my Fulbright grant ended and I left Korea, I think of Kakao emojis often.
