About this network

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.
