Singer Lee Young-ji made a candid statement regarding the update of the messenger app 'KakaoTalk'.
On the 25th, Lee Young-ji mentioned the automatically updated KakaoTalk through the fan communication platform Bubble, saying, “I was trying to hold off on updating KakaoTalk, but is it okay to update it like this without the consent of the person involved?”
She continued to express her dissatisfaction with comments like “Ah! No, please,” “Ah… I look ugly,” and “No!! I don’t like it.”
Lee Young-ji's KakaoTalk reveals all her past profile pictures and more. It shows traces of her past fandom, including a photo of Jay Park, whom she liked during her school days.
In response, Lee Young-ji said, “Everything from when I had Jay Park's profile picture in high school is all laid out. It’s all on my KakaoTalk profile,” adding, “I’m going to delete it all now.”
Meanwhile, KakaoTalk, known as the national messenger, underwent a major overhaul on the 23rd. Although it attracted attention for its first complete redesign in 15 years, users have been reacting negatively due to its resemblance to social media formats and frequent ad exposure. As a result, some users are sharing methods to block automatic updates.
