Photo Enhancement App Meitu Hits #1 in iOS and Android Downloads in South Korea

 

User Enthusiasm in Top App Market Fuels Meitus Global Expansion

SEOUL, South KoreaJuly 18, 2018 — Meitu, a photo enhancement app by Meitu Inc., is now the most popular mobile app by number of downloads for both iOS and Android users in the highly competitive South Korean market.

With the word “Meitu” being one of the most frequently searched words, Meitu reached the number one position in South Korea’s iOS App Store download charts for both the “All App” and “Photo and Video” categories. In the country’s Google Play Store, the Meitu app is also the most downloaded app in the “Photo” category. These are all strong signs of the app’s growing popularity.

“The number one position of our Meitu app in South Korea is another important milestone in our company’s global expansion”, said Wu Xinhong, Meitu’s founder and CEO. “Meitu will continue to develop exciting new products that appeal to local markets, inspiring more people across the globe to express their beauty in their own unique way,” he continued.

Meitu’s research shows that the Artificial Intelligence (AI) illustration function featured in its app is one of the biggest draws among its South Korean users. Dubbed “Andy the ArtBot”, the feature turns real life human photos into stunning illustrations instantly. It achieves this by deconstructing and reconstituting human facial features while its intelligent segmentation technology recognizes and separates the person from the background, resulting in a unique virtual painting.

The number of new users in South Korea using the “Andy the ArtBot” function increased by 1,175% for July compared to last month. The daily increase of new users of the Meitu App reached 580% compared to June 2018.

Hi everyone! Nice to e-meet you! Here are a few things you should know about me. I am a conscientious, open-minded, adaptable to new experiences, and ambitious Business Development Manager with a Bachelor's Degree in Economics - Banking, Finance, and Accountancy. Through my studies, I've also obtained many naturopathic and nutrition degrees as well. Part-time jobs have added marketing, network marketing, event management, and store management skills to my experience throughout my career. Throughout my career, I have also been a Hotel Manager and owned a Bar/Restaurant & Internet Cafe. My online marketing and social media interactivity experience was gained when I and my husband started a business with an online/organic webshop & healthy lifestyle consultancy. I've improved my English at Cambridge Academy of English - 2003, in Cambridge. I live a conscious lifestyle, and try to protect the ecosystem. Animal lover and capable of helping others without judgment or negative reactions, this is thanked my knowledge in holistic therapies and the naturopathy courses I've followed. I cannot leave for my spiritual growth and the continuous development in alternative and holistic therapies, so I'm learning at Kyron School of New Consciousness, receiving a Bio Energo-therapist diploma. Thanks to all my experiences I've decided to venture into publishing and writing, while also continuing to learn many new things daily. I hope you enjoy reading my hand-picked news and check back for my weekly articles.
