History
It was founded in December 1999 under the name Hangame Communications, Inc. In July 2000, Hangame Communications officially merged with South Korea's largest search engine company, Naver. Upon the merger, the name of the company was changed to "Next Human Network", or NHN, although the two divisions continue to operate under their original brand names. On 1 August 2013, NHN was re-split into NHN Entertainment Corporation and Naver Corporation for strategic reasons. On April 1, 2019, the company name was changed to NHN again.[1]
NHN has been focusing on cloud services since 2014. It launched the brand TOAST Cloud in 2014 and built its own IDC center in 2015. TOAST Cloud provides cloud services such as SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS.[citation needed]
