Seoul –
The number of domestic users of OpenAI’s generative artificial intelligence (AI) “ChatGPT” has surpassed 20 million in South Korea. Its reach is rapidly expanding beyond the workplace into daily life, becoming deeply embedded in everyday routines.
According to WiseAppRetail Goods, ChatGPT’s monthly active users (MAU) reached 20.31 million as of last month, setting an all-time high. This is equivalent to about 40 percent of South Korea’s 50.12 million smartphone users. Compared to July of last year, when it stood at 4.07 million, it represents about a fivefold increase.
The gender ratio of users was virtually identical, with men at 50.1 percent and women at 49.9 percent. By age group, those under 20 accounted for 13.6 percent, those in their 20s 24.2 percent, 30s 22.0 percent, 40s 22.4 percent, 50s 12.6 percent, and 60 and older 5.2 percent. WiseAppRetail Goods analyzed that “users in their 20s to 40s make up about 70 percent of the total, forming the core user base.”
