Kakao Story creating lots of trouble for everyone

So Yeon, a member of girls vocal group Tiara, and her entertainer friends engaged in private conversation on Kakao Story, a mobile communications network, in which she berated some of the people she knew. That got her into hot water.

A 27-year-old company worker went on a pleasure trip to Bali in Indonesia with his girlfriend and thought it would be fun to post photos in their swimwear.

Think again.When he returned to the office, he was told to be more careful about his behavior, apparently talking about the photo postings on Kakao Story.

With over 70 million subscribers, Kakao Talk, the parent platform of Kakao Story, is all over the place.

But there are disputes on the violation of privacy on the part of some subscribers, such as in the case of So Yeon which was posted by someone else.

The emergence of Kakao Story has been a major buzz in the mobile communications market with its membership far surpassing Cyworld of SK Communications which has just 31 million.

However, market observers said it needs to be more careful about the contents that are carried, especially with the enormous amounts of traffic. <The Korea Times>
