Online communities, various SNS, and messengers dominate our daily lives, and one-to-many communication and quick communication methods have become commonplace.

However, the depth of communication has become shallower that much. Perhaps because of this trend, words such as 'squeak', 'secondary bottle', and 'three-line summary' appeared, and people became increasingly reluctant to talk in depth.

However, advances in technology have not changed the nature of the emotions that are deeply ingrained in people. I think the reason why the term 'solitude in the crowd' is not awkward is because even if there are already many SNS friends and messenger conversations, the depth is shallow and people are accustomed to the lack of feeling because they can't fill their deep emotions. However, there is no window for such emotional communication, so we are trying to fill that gap with more SNS friends and more messenger conversations. This method only exacerbates the deficiency.

‘Night Letter’ is a service that can qualitatively fill the emotional and communication deficits of modern people. You are not writing a letter that will be visible to several people, you will be writing a letter that will only be visible to one reader. There may be concerns that the article may be lost because it is only visible to one person, but it is the opposite. Unlike general writing, where several readers are considered, only one person is considered, so there is no choice but to tell a deeper story and more stories. That is the essence of the letter.

The functions of 'Night Letter' can be divided into three main categories. The first is a ‘letter to someone’, where you can send and receive letters with someone you don’t know, and the second is a ‘letter to an acquaintance’ that you send to someone you know.

Finally, it is a 'public letter' that can show the letter to more people.

'Letter to someone' is a function that sends a letter to a random person the next day, and the person who wrote the letter also receives a letter written by another person. If you want to reply to the letter you have received, you can reply through the night mail only, and the person who received your letter can also reply in the same way. 'Letter to someone' is something you want to say or worry about, but it is difficult to post it to the people around you or SNS. You can use it if you want, etc.

A ‘letter to an acquaintance’ is to send a letter to an acquaintance whose phone number is registered. If the other party is not a night mail user, a notification is sent via text message that the letter has arrived, and it also takes more than a day to deliver. This function can be used when there are stories that you want to talk about, but KakaoTalk is too light, email is too business, but it is too burdensome to write a handwritten letter. It is to fill in the blanks that existing messengers have not been able to fill.

A 'public letter' is a kind of bulletin board, and many people can see the letter I wrote, and may receive more replies accordingly.
