AI Summary

Goddess of Victory: NIKKE's cult mascot Dororong has teamed up with KakaoTalk's Choonsik. The duo has taken over the Kakao Friends Hongdae Flagship Store with a massive range of exclusive goods. It is a quirky, must-see collaboration that blends gaming charm with everyday messenger icon status.

Do you know 'Dororong', the head-turning character from 'Goddess of Victory: NIKKE'? Born from the fan-made cult following of the Pilgrim Nikke 'Dorothy', this derivative character has officially cemented itself as a mascot. Its vacant expression and those mesmerising, soul-piercing eyes are quite the draw. Dororong's popularity has soared to such heights that even those who haven't touched the game seem to recognise the face.

Now, Dororong has crossed paths with 'Choonsik', the iconic mascot of the messenger app 'KakaoTalk'. They’ve taken over the 'Kakao Friends Hongdae Flagship Store' in Seoul with a range of exclusive merchandise. What happens when the heavyweights of gaming and messaging collide? KookminTree decided to head down to the scene to see the synergy for ourselves.
