KAKAO FRIENDS FAQ
Everything you need to know about the Korean kawaii universe.
Where to start?
A Ryan plush or an Apeach figure for the iconic — these are the two most beloved characters. To start more accessibly, a keychain, a pouch, or a sticker set.
What is KakaoTalk?
The #1 messaging app in South Korea, used by nearly 100% of the population. KakaoTalk launched Kakao Friends in 2012 as chat stickers — they became a true pop culture phenomenon, expanded into flagship stores, parks, and collaborations.
Is Ryan a bear or a lion?
A lion without a mane, self-conscious about his appearance. He comes from Maple Forest and works as a counselor on the Frodo & Neo team. He’s the “grumpy but adorable” character who made him popular — the favorite among Koreans since his creation.
Are the products official?
Yes — we only sell official Kakao IX products (Kakao’s merchandising branch). No counterfeits. Each item bears the official logo and is imported directly from Kakao Friends stores in Korea.
Are there limited editions?
Yes, Kakao Friends regularly releases seasonal editions (Christmas, Valentine’s Day, summer, character birthdays) and collaborations (fashion, beauty, café). Follow our collection — we import the drops as soon as they launch in Seoul.
Are the KAKAO FRIENDS products on Ma Petite Corée authentic?
Yes, 100%. Ma Petite Corée has been based in Seoul since 2017 and sources directly. Every product is new, sealed, and shipped from Korea, with no customs fees charged to you in the EU.
