    LICENSE: LINE FRIENDS 'LINE FRIENDS' were created when NAVER developed ‘LINE’ messenger in 2011. ‘LINE’ messenger only had a chatting function and NAVER was looking for a better way to share emotions through messages and designed stickers to do so. More attention was drawn to the stickers and later the characterized stickers became ‘LINE FRIENDS.’ The developers felt the need for stories and concepts for each character to develop them further so they created relationships, series, and stories for each character. The characters were created to reflect people that can be easily found around us. The idea for Brown was a bear with a timid and gentle personality, the idea for Coni was a rabbit with a lively personality, and the idea for Sally was a chicken with a bit of an aggressive personality. Currently, there are a total of 11 characters and they are being developed into many different products and are being sold as the ‘LINE FRIENDS’ brand.
