About LINE
The LINE messaging app was launched in 2011 in the aftermath of the great tsunami in Japan, a time when people struggled to find reliable ways to contact their families and loved ones. Mr. Jungho Shin, an application developer and LINE founder, realized the problem in Japan and adopted technology to tackle it, giving birth to the vision of Closing the Distance that aims to bring people, technology, and information closer. LINE has developed many easy-to-use, convenient, and useful features and services, transforming itself into the number one lifestyle platform in Japan and many countries in Asia. In Thailand, more than 45 million people have downloaded the LINE application (as of January 2020).
