Mole in Korea

[mole]

Strange, thought that .co.kr was important in Korea, apparently the .COM is being used whenever possible. In Seoul, it seems like the URL is an important part of company posturing, a lot of shop signages have them.

 

[tajimd]

perhaps Korean dont like .kr since outsiders may get confused in North and South Korea deal. So they must be using .com instead

 

[mole]

Yeah, this North/South Korea thingy is a very sensitive subject shh.

 

[tajimd]

Yes this North and south korea thing has messed up domaining in Korea

.com always sound better. They aiming global business

Korea has one of the most mature Internet markets in the world. They don't have to settle for a second rate ccTLD name because they were registering .coms before they started selling for crazy money. Now they have massive online commerce which can finance a purchase if it's necessary Every client I've dealt with in Korea has had a .com.

You see .co.kr on smaller independent shops. And yeah, nearly every sign has a web address. It's been like that for years.

A very different market from Japan.
