Summary

Kakao Corp

Korea, Republic of · AI-generated

business enterprise kr internet

KAKAO-AS-KR is operated by Kakao Corp.

What it's used for

  • The address space carries corporate infrastructure, evidenced by netnames DREAMX-KR, DAUMKAKAO-KR, and KORNET-KR registered to IRT-KRNIC-KR.
  • With 17,920 IPv4 addresses across 28 prefixes and only 1 observed neighbour, the inventory represents a finely subdivided internal corporate estate rather than an access network.
  • Traffic consists of web and API endpoints, data center services, and internal backhaul for Kakao's digital platforms, including messaging and content services.

Notable

  • Registrants align with the announcer, with all sampled prefixes registered to IRT-KRNIC-KR under Kakao-related netnames.
  • The operator was formerly known as Daum Kakao Corp, having rebranded to Kakao Corp in October 2015 following the merger of Daum Communications and Kakao.
  • The inventory includes a mix of /21, /22, /23, and /24 blocks, reflecting site-by-site segmentation of the corporate address space.

Classification and threat

Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.

Spamhaus DROP

Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.

No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.

Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 442 networks and 1,782 prefixes, as published 2026-10-16. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.

FBI IC3

No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.

IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
