What Taglive does

Taglive (태그라이브 주식회사) is a privately held South Korean software company, founded in 2015 and headquartered in the Gasan-dong digital complex in Seoul, that operates a B2B social media curation and hashtag collection platform. Its three core products are the Taglive Web Plugin — a JavaScript embed that aggregates Instagram, YouTube, X, and Naver Blog feeds onto customer websites by hashtag, keyword, or account; Taglive Live Wall — a digital signage solution displaying real-time social feeds on screens at events, retail locations, and public venues; and SOMERS (소머즈) — a wholly owned subsidiary that handles raw social media data collection, Excel export, and graph visualization. The proprietary technology layer consists of a hashtag search collection engine (covered by Korean invention patent No. 10-1754371) running on a self-developed NGINX-based cache and proxy server infrastructure for high-volume processing, with native integrations to the Instagram Graph API, YouTube Data API, X, and Naver Blog RSS.

The commercial model is a tiered monthly SaaS subscription (Lite 110,000 KRW through Expert 1,980,000 KRW), differentiated primarily by post-update frequency (12 hours down to 2 minutes) and feature breadth, supplemented by consultation-based enterprise sales for Live Wall projects through a quote-and-approval flow. Customer segmentation is dual-track: a self-service product-led funnel for small business and individual users via the dashboard, and an enterprise sales motion targeting event organizers, brand marketing teams, government agencies, and Korean conglomerates. Named customers include Samsung Electronics, Hyundai Motor Group, Netflix Korea, Marvel Studios, Coca-Cola Korea, Nike Korea, Starbucks Korea, AmorePacific, Disney+ Korea, the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics, and multiple Korean ministries, with reported cumulative campaign volume exceeding 6,000 over ten years. The company operates without disclosed external funding and is led by founder and Representative Director Kim Ki-seon (김기선), who is also the named inventor on the core patent.

Revenue and headcount are not publicly disclosed. Distribution is hybrid: self-serve dashboard (Korean and English) for plugin tiers, and consultation-led sales for Live Wall and enterprise deals. The product portfolio has not incorporated AI/ML capabilities based on available evidence, with recent roadmap activity (2019-2021) focused on incremental platform parity across social channels and additions to the SOMERS data analytics surface rather than artificial intelligence.

Core offering

Taglive provides a SaaS-based SNS (social network service) curation platform that aggregates hashtag and keyword-based content from Instagram, YouTube, X (Twitter), and Naver Blog into embeddable website widgets, real-time digital signage walls, and analytical reports. The offering comprises three products: the Taglive Web Plugin (JavaScript embed for websites), Taglive Live Wall (event/retail digital signage), and SOMERS (social media raw-data analytics and Excel export), sold primarily through tiered monthly subscriptions and consultation-based enterprise sales.

Product overview

Taglive is a South Korean SNS (social media) curation platform comprising three core products. The Taglive Web Plugin is a JavaScript-based responsive embeddable tool that collects and displays Instagram, YouTube, X, and Naver Blog feeds on websites by hashtag, keyword, or account, offering Brick Masonry, Square Grid, and Moving Slide layouts with moderation and analytics. Taglive Live Wall is a digital signage solution for broadcasting real-time social media feeds on large displays at events, retail spaces, and public venues, featuring multiple animations and a management dashboard.
