It would be difficult to tell that she's not Korean if someone were to chat with her on a mobile messenger. Hanieh Sadat Kazami, 18, is Iranian, but she can text in Korean slang and abbreviations on mobile messengers just like any other Korean. While most Iranian women use Germany-based Telegram to chat over smartphones, Kazami even uses Kakao Talk, South Korea's most popular mobile messenger application. "I use Telegram for my Iranian friends and Kakao Talk for my Korean friends," Kazami said.
