Does anyone here can tell me why Korean SE Naver failed in Japan a few years before?

Welcome to WebmasterWorld azimao529. Nice to have you with us.

We covered this last year in this thread: Naver Japan to stop service [webmasterworld.com].
I was never able to speak to any of the decision makers at Naver Japan, so I'm not sure what all their reasons were. However they were always a very small player here and rarely sent my sites any traffic at all.

Thank you, Bill, you are very nice!

I heard that Naver acquired 1noon and will enter Japan next year.

We heard about 1noon [webmasterworld.com] earlier this year, but they were pretty small at the time from the sounds of it. Are they performing well in the Korean market now?
