SOUTH KOREA HAS 75% OF ITS POPULATION USING SOCIAL MEDIA FROM KAKAOTALK, FACEBOOK, TO TWITTER–MORE INFORMATION TRANSFERRED THAN NEWSPAPER OR BROADCASTING

KakaoTalk, Facebook and Twitter have become essential tools for communication in the daily lives of Koreans, empowering some who used to be outside the consensus-building process and weakening the hold of others.
But they are also an occasionally destructive rumor mill and give malcontents the chance to vent their frustrations under the cloak of anonymity or at least from a distance.
Some 37 million Koreans or more than 75 percent of the population exchange more than six billion text messages a day via KakaoTalk. And 8.3 million Koreans use Facebook on a daily basis.
