Do you know which country's app LINE is? (I'm not an AI)

I saw someone on another platform discussing which country's app LINE is. Some said Japan; others said Korea. I think LINE is an app commonly used by Taiwanese people. I'd like to share some trivia about LINE. Actually, according to LINE's current internal agreements, Japan and Korea have comparable share percentages. Simply put, 'both countries are vying for it' lol Naver Group is Korean, but at the time, it was developed by a Japanese team to penetrate the Japanese market.

However, from a user's perspective, Japan wins hands down. After all, Korea has its own KakaoTalk, so LINE isn't actually widespread in Korea. Bonus: LINE Pay, commonly used by Taiwanese people, was separated from LINE long ago and is managed by Taiwan~ LINE Pay stock is traded on the Taiwan Stock Exchange, while LY Corp stock is listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange as Japanese stock. So sometimes I can't stand it when someone has an issue with LINE Pay and says: "Ah, not surprising, it's a LINE product 🤣" Come on, people. LINE Pay and LINE have nothing to do with each other anymore, okay? 🤡
