KakaoTalk added a feature that temporarily changes the background when entering Halloween-related words in the KakaoTalk chat room for Halloween on October 31st. With the prolonged infection by coronavirus (Corona 19) and the spread of distance, an ‘extraordinary event’ has been prepared for users to communicate in a remote way.

According to the industry on the 23rd, the KakaoTalk users in the chat window are’Halloween”Halloween”Halloween Day”Halloween Day”Hey, ‘Happy Halloween’Happy Halloween”Kokseok Halloween”Jack O’Lantern ” Trick or ‘If you enter’ Deal ‘(a word that kids go from house to house on Halloween, meaning they will make a joke if they don’t get snacks), you can see the background change temporarily. The same applies to the English expression of the word (Halloween, Halloween day, Happy Halloween, jack o lantern, trick or treat).

KakaoTalk has made several attempts to bring pleasure to users, such as providing a “snowy background” on a snowy day. To prevent the spread of Corona 19, Kakao Talk has also supported a splash screen (splash screen displayed when running the app) to commemorate Ryan and Chuseok with a mask.

A Kakao official said: “By prolonging Corona 19 and keeping the distance, this year’s Halloween Day will apply the effect of the chat room in consideration of the social atmosphere that is communicated and enjoyed in a non-face-to-face way and no contact”. We look forward to communicating with each other within the chat room. “

KakaoTalk plans to support the Halloween background effect until 11:59 pm on November 1.
