They're under the Kakao umbrella. Idk the details of their relationships - whether they fund them or not or how much Kakao has a say in management but i do think Kakao profits from Starship- so it seemed appropriate to have them together as Kakao/Starship.

If kakao is majority shareholder, they have the final call..and starship even without it was a top company in korea

yes... but still i think it's useful to visualize who is under the kakao umbrella so i dont think i'll change that. thanks for pointing that out tho.
