Summary
SOOP Co., Ltd. (formerly AfreecaTV / Nowcom)
enterprise hosting legacy
NOWCOM-AS-KR — the network of SOOP Co., Ltd., the South Korean live
streaming company known until 2024 as AfreecaTV, and originally spun out of
Nowcom.
What it's used for
- Serving SOOP's live streaming and video-on-demand platform, one of Korea's largest, and the associated web, chat, and delivery infrastructure.
Notable
- The registry handle still reads
NOWCOM, the company's earlier identity — the corporate parent renamed itself from AfreecaTV Co. to SOOP Co. in 2024. - This is platform infrastructure, not an access ISP: addresses here host SOOP's own services rather than serving subscriber homes.
Interesting
- SOOP's domestic position strengthened after Twitch withdrew from the South Korean market in early 2024, leaving it and Naver's Chzzk as the main competitors for Korean livestreaming.
