[theqoo] KOREA IS FACING THE GALAPAGOS SYNDROME RIGHT NOW

(T/N: Columns from left to right)

Google Map | Google Pay | Apple Map | Apple Pay | Amazon | Ebay | Uber | *New* Twitch

1. We have our own apps so why should we use those anyways?

2. We are using the Korean-equivalent of those apps so who cares? 

3. But we have Google Map?

4. I only live in Korea so I don’t care

5. But Korea is an armistice country, so it’s hard to expose everything like maps, right?

6. But Korean apps work just fine

7. Even without using any of those, I don’t feel any inconvenience

8. But we have Auction and G-Market that are basically Ebay?

9. Those companies cannot compete with the already-available brands of our country so what do they want us to do about it? There are already a lot of f*cking convenient alternatives and Korean companies also allow you to call customer service if you have any problems.

10. It’s just because Korean apps are more convenient
