SEOUL, Mar. 8 (Yonhap) -- Kakao will carry out a special project in commemoration of the 3rd anniversary of the debut of “Chunsik,” one of Kakao Friends’ best-known and loved characters, the tech giant announced Wednesday.
The project will kick off with an offline fan meeting that is scheduled to be held at Seoul’s Megabox COEX on Mar. 24. About 1,200 Chunsik fans will be invited to the event, and they can sign up via Chunsik’s KakaoTalk channel, an Instagram account for Ryan, and Chunsik’s Twitter account.
During the fan meeting, a short animated video “Dododo Chunsik,” which will feature the story of Chunsik before meeting his butler Ryan, will be exclusively unveiled. The video screening will be followed by stage greetings, photo time, and a raffle event. Every participant will be given an official fan club kit that certifies him or her as a fan of Chunsik, also dubbed the “Chun-jang.”
In celebration of the 3rd anniversary, Kakao will share the animated video clip with the public in mid-April, and the tech giant will also be publishing a book telling Chunsik’s story in May.
Choi Sun, the head of Kakao’s IP brand team, said, “We have organized this fan meeting to give back the love that fans have given to Chunsik from the very beginning,” adding, “We ask for continued attention and interest to Chunsik’s future activities.”
Kakao is the operator of KakaoTalk, South Korea’s biggest mobile messenger.
