[May 24, 2023] Kakao (CEO Hong Eunkaek) announced on May 24 that the company had joined hands with the popular influencer “Chommy” and released “Give-ticons”, emoticons that are purchased to share benefits with other.

Kakao donates a portion of the proceeds for every Give-ticon purchased by users. Fourteen Give-ticons have been released since its first introduction in 2016, through collaboration with numerous writers and artists.

“Kind and Loving Droopy Family” is the 15th Give-ticon to be released, and this time in collaboration with the famous South Korean influencer “Chommy”, who gained wide popularity by spreading sincerity and kindness. This Give-ticon uses animal characters children love to express childhood in a bright and positive way.

Kakao donates 300 KRW for every “Kind and Loving Droopy Family” Give-ticon sold. The creator Chommy has decided to donate all her proceeds from the sales. The non-profit organization Good Neighbors will use the donations to support abused children. 

A campaign will also be held at the Kakao Together collection box from May 24 to June 21. Users can donate as much as they want into the campaign’s collection box. Kakao will even donate an additional 100 KRW for each user ID that leaves a comment that supports the campaign or shares the campaign through their SNS.

Kang Giljoo, Part Leader of Kakao’s Digital Item Team, said the company “released these Give-ticons in collaboration with the influencer Chommy to support children who has suffered abuse” and added that “Kakao will continue to provide opportunities where users can easily experience the gift of sharing with Give-ticons or other methods and participate in mobile sponsorships”.
