Unionised workers of Kakao staged a “Log-out Day” by taking mass leave amid stalled wage talks since May. About 2,100 employees across Kakao units joined the protest, demanding 13–14% of operating profits as bonuses. Management rejected the demand, citing financial strain. The action follows an earlier partial strike, raising concerns over disruptions to KakaoTalk, while negotiations continue.
