Summary
Chosun Ilbo Inc.
enterprise legacy
CHOSUN-AS-KR — the corporate network of The Chosun Ilbo, one of South Korea's
oldest and largest daily newspapers.
What it's used for
- The newspaper's internal corporate network and its own internet-facing publishing infrastructure.
- Serving the organisation's online news operations.
Notable
- Chosun Ilbo was founded in 1920 and is one of Korea's "big three" newspapers, with a daily circulation in the millions.
- Its digital arm publishes the chosun.com news site, which also carries English, Chinese, and Japanese editions.
- The ASN holds a modest allocation — this is a media company running its own network, not a service provider.
Interesting
- Korea's large media houses obtained their own ASNs and address space early, a reflection of how quickly the country built out internet infrastructure compared with most of the region.
