Summary
Media Synnara
enterprise legacy
AS9771 (SYNNARA-AS-KR) is held by Media Synnara, the South Korean company behind Synnara Records (신나라레코드) — a long-running music distributor and record retailer. Synnara Distribution dates to 1982 and the group runs both physical stores and one of Korea's best-known online music shops, carrying an unusually deep back catalogue of K-pop, indie, OST and classical releases.
What it's used for
A small corporate network fronting an e-commerce business. RIS shows 768 IPv4 addresses in three /24 prefixes — 211.247.254.0/24, 211.247.255.0/24 and 211.61.169.0/24 — with one observed BGP neighbour. The reverse DNS confirms the identity directly rather than merely hinting at it: a sampled address in 211.61.169.0/24 resolves to www.synnara.co.kr, the company's own storefront. So this AS is hosting the retailer's public web presence on its own address space.
Three /24s and a single upstream is the smallest useful shape a routed network takes. There is no hosting business here, no customer allocations and no transit role — just enough portable space and enough BGP for a retailer to keep its own storefront addresses stable. No IPv6 is announced.
Notable
- The rDNS is a rare case of a PTR that actually corroborates the registrant. Usually reverse DNS tells you only what a block carries, not who holds it. Here they agree.
- A record shop holding its own ASN is a legacy of the era when Korean businesses were assigned portable space directly; a company of this size starting today would sit inside a hosting provider's addresses.

Internet exchanges
No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Transit providers

Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-27, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

Classification and threat
Hosting Datacenter or cloud provider. Addresses are servers, not people.
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: 446 networks and 1,852 prefixes, as published 2026-10-27. 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.
