Comedian Yoo Se-yoon showed a satisfied reaction to the KakaoTalk update that recently sparked heated controversy.
On the 28th, Yoo Se-yoon posted a video on his social media with the caption "To be honest, I think the changed KakaoTalk is fun." The video includes part of the music video for his 2013 song "Kka-tok (Feat. Im Bo-ram)" and evokes laughter. It contains lyrics such as "That darn kka-tok kka-tok, will you shut up / a heart and a clover with no sincerity."
Netizens responded to Yoo Se-yoon's reaction with a variety of comments such as "Was the world boring to you? You find everything entertaining," "Are you serious?" and "That's an ironic remark."
Yoo Se-yoon's post referred to the full revamp of KakaoTalk carried out on the 23rd. KakaoTalk conducted a major update 15 years after the service launched, enhancing convenience by adding its own AI, "Cabana," which can be summoned during conversations to share search results. However, some users have voiced dissatisfaction over features that display friends' profile changes and posts in a timeline format, and increased ad exposure.
Amid fallout in which methods to block automatic updates or revert to the previous version have been shared among some users, Yoo Se-yoon's quirky yet cheerful response is drawing attention.
