Anicet Mbida delivers to us every morning what is best in terms of innovation.

This Friday, he is interested in the Morse code, taken up on social networks after its use by a group of K-Pop, the famous Korean pop.

The innovation of the day is the return of Morse code (an almost bicentenary communication technique)!

And surprise, it is the teenagers who bring it up to date.

Just go for a ride on TikTok or Roblox.

We see more and more young people who communicate with “dot dot dot… dot dot dot… dot dot… dot dot dot… dot dot… dot dot dot…” We also see them multiplying on messengers like Discord. 

It turns out that several K-Pop groups, the famous Korean pop, have fun adding messages in Morse code to their songs (groups like TXT, NU'Est or the famous BTS).

Suddenly, this intrigued the fans who rushed to the tutorials to learn how to decipher the messages.

They ended up getting a taste for it.

And now they use it to communicate in secret.

Is it a fad or is it a phenomenon that could take hold?

We'll see… In any case, K-Pop groups are doing everything to maintain the trend.

The promotion of their future titles is now done in Morse code.

We see, for example, the pages of their website start flashing to give clues or a release date.

Better: the amateur radio clubs which, until now, welcomed rather fifty-somethings have seen the number of young people explode in recent months (400 teenage connections per week for one of the largest international clubs on the Internet).

And the top fashion in playgrounds are bracelets with Morse coded messages.

Admittedly, there is a romantic side to deciphering a message that we receive.

But admit that it is rather unexpected at the time of Snapchat and 5G.
