아이네블루메 runs Chatie, a mobile chat-formatted novel service where narratives unfold like SNS messenger conversations to increase immersion. The product includes PC and mobile editor tools that let anyone create chat-style novels, offering multiple fonts and background color options to convey nuanced emotion while keeping production costs and difficulty low. Chatie launched in May 2018 and reached 500,000 app downloads within six months. The platform now hosts more than 100 professional writers, and its user challenge corner can publish up to 1,000 pieces of content per day. CEO Choi Jae-hyun, who previously held senior roles at Naver for 15 years, leads the team. The company says it plans to adapt Chatie works into webtoons and video and to build a long-term content ecosystem that could expand creator–reader connections domestically and overseas. 아이네블루메 recently secured outside funding, supporting those growth plans.
