South Korea

Country Code

Overview

South Korea opened direct registration under .kr in 2006; before that, addressing ran through second-level namespaces such as .co.kr for companies and .or.kr for other organisations, several of which still impose local-presence conditions of their own. The Korea Internet and Security Agency operates the registry, delegated in 1986, with roughly 1.1 million domains registered. The country's dense broadband and mobile infrastructure sustains steady domestic demand.
