The number of Koreans using OpenAI's ChatGPT mobile app surpassed 5 million for the first time in October, logging a sevenfold increase from a year ago, when the number of users hovered just over 700,000 users.

The average time spent on the ChatGPT app stood at 51.6 minutes per month, which is 20 minutes more than a year ago, the market tracker said. The average number of days people used ChatGPT in a month also increased from 3.2 days to 5.7 days during the cited period. 
 
The number of visits to ChatGPT topped 3.1 billion in September worldwide, a whopping 112 percent year-over-year jump, according to Similarweb data.
