Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION(S) This application is based on and claims priority under 35 U.S.C. § 119 to Korean Patent Application No. 10-2022-0141589 filed on Oct. 28, 2022 in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety. BACKGROUND 1. Field The disclosure relates to a method for displaying suggested items associated with messages, and an apparatus for implementing the same. More particularly, the disclosure relates to a method for displaying suggested items associated with messages in order to provide information on the suggested items associated with the messages input in a chat room, and an apparatus for implementing the same. 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in multi-party communication using a messenger, a user may select a conversation partner by a manner of targeting all members participating in a conversation or manually mentioning (e.g., @mention) a specific member when selecting the conversation partner and send a message to the selected conversation partner. However, when the user manually mentions a specific member in a group chat room including several members and sends the message to the specific member, there is a problem that the message is unnecessarily exposed to other members. That is, it may be impossible to send the message that is exposed only to the specific member in the group chat room. In addition, in a case of a messenger that does not have a function of selecting a specific member, such as @mention, in the group chat room, there is a limitation that the user should exit the group chat room and search a one-on-one chat room with the specific member or create a new one-to-one chat room with the specific member in order to send a message to the specific member. Meanwhile, conventionally, when it is necessary to share a specific content during a conversation in the group chat room, the movement of a screen such as exiting the group chat room and accessing a service related to the specific content occurs in order to obtain information on the specific content. In this case, a flow of conversation is interrupted, which is inconvenient. Accordingly, there is a need for a technology capable of exposing a message only to a specific member, if necessary, during a conversation with multiple members in a group chat room. In addition, there is a need for a technology capable of quickly sharing information on a specific content in a group chat room without moving to another service screen. SUMMARY Provided are a method for displaying suggested items associated with messages capable of suggesting a sending group or an associated content of a message by analyzing a keyword input while writing the message in a chat room of a messenger, and an apparatus for implementing the same. Provided are a method for displaying suggested items associated with messages capable of sending a message so that the message is exposed only to a specific member during a conversation in a group chat room of a messenger, and an apparatus for implementing the same. Provided are a method for displaying suggested items associated with messages capable of confirming a content related to a message input to a chat room of a messenger within the chat room without moving a screen and then sending the content along with the message, and an apparatus for implementing the same. According to an aspect of the disclosure, a method for displaying suggested items associated with a message, the method, which performed by at least one processor, includes: based on a preset first keyword that is detected in a message that is input to an input window of a chat room, displaying suggested items comprising a conversation group or a content associated with the preset first keyword, wherein the conversation group corresponds to a reception target of the message; and based on an item selected from the suggested items, displaying the message comprising information on the conversation group or the content corresponding to the selected item. In some embodiments, the displaying of the suggested items includes, based on the preset first keyword being a keyword regarding user information, displaying the suggested items comprising a plurality of conversation groups associated with the user information corresponding to the preset first keyword. In some embodiments, the displaying of the suggested items includes, based on the preset first keyword being a keyword regarding content information, displaying the suggested items comprising a plurality of contents associated with the content information corresponding to the preset first keyword. In some embodiments, the user information includes a user state and a user profile, and wherein the content information includes at least one of e-mail, schedule, contact, or file information. In some embodiments, the displaying of the suggested items includes: based on a determination that both the conversation group ass
