In 2 or 3 years they'll have the network effect locked down. Chat apps rise and fall between generations ICQ -> AOL -> Text -> Snapchat, but it's rare for a similar product to steal a user base in that kind of market. My understanding is that many Asian countries look to Korea and Japan for fashion and pop culture so this may be the gateway to the rest of E and SE Asia.
