Naver

Naver commands Korea's search and internet ecosystem as a technology holding company spanning cloud computing, AI, e-commerce, and LINE—one of East Asia's largest messaging platforms. Its HyperClova X large language model, the most capable Korean-native AI in production, outperforms Krafton's in-house models in Korean-language benchmarks. With over 30 million daily active users on LINE alone, Naver's AI-driven cloud revenue grew 40% year-over-year in 2025, making it faster than the average Korean tech firm's 12% growth. The company's search market share exceeds 70% domestically, a lead that surpasses Hyundai Robotics' market share in its own sector.
