IMVU: The World's Leading Avatar-Based 3D Social Network Launches a Localized Mobile App for South Korea

"We noticed a surge in IMVU app downloads in South Korea earlier this year, but since the app was in English, we found that the full IMVU experience was limited to users creating their 3D avatar," says Lomit Patel, Vice President of Growth. "We saw an essential capability to encourage these users to chat and connect with their friends by introducing a localized app in their native language."

Under the leadership of CEO Daren Tsui, IMVU is focused on spreading the power of friendship through a highly personalized and interactive technology that is intended to create a meaningful experience for its users.  On IMVU, a customizable avatar, which represents you, can interact with other avatars in 3D chat rooms designed to provide shared experiences that go beyond the traditional social media loop of posting a picture, liking, commenting, and sharing. IMVU creates an opportunity for users to do more together, to interact, create memorable moments, and develop stronger bonds.  Providing Korean-speaking users with a version of the app in their own language is key to ensure optimal user experience and more meaningful connections.
