I still can distinctly recall the first Naver TV commercial back in 2003.Three things from the ad stuck in my mind: then rising-star Jeon Ji-hyun’s good looking face, the all green background of the ad (green turned out to be Naver’s representative color), and the word Naver. With that single commercial, Naver turned from nobody to somebody in the search engine market in Korea and took the top spot from Daum<\/a> in terms of market share not long after. It was the TV commercial that helped raise awareness of Naver, but what’s behind Naver’s success are its user-friendly search system and advanced technology. In fact, Naver recorded 80% market share in 2013 amongst other internet search engines, according to BizSpring<\/a>, a web analysis firm based in South Korea.<\/p>\n
