NHN announces publishing contract for Hanjamaru


On Monday, November 8th, NHN announced its publishing contract with Eduflo for the game Hanjamaru in an official press release. The company cited the game’s content and critic acclaim as the main reasons for its decision to enter into a publishing contract with Eduflo. The press release lauds both the design of the game and the fact that Eduflo participated in the 2008 Edutainment Exposition, managed by both the Korean Ministry of Science and Technology, as well as the Korean Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism. It also praises the fact that in the Ministry of Science and Technology's competition held for the best business in e-learning, Hanjamaru was selected as a winner in the category of educational software.

The press release goes on to praise Hanjamaru for contents that are both entertaining and educational so that not only will young, internet users enjoy the game, but also places their parents in a position to appreciate it. The director of NHN has said that upon its release in 2009, Hanjamaru will become a leading internet business with sound educational content and a functional game, to be held in positive recognition. With regard to Hanjamaru’s reduction of extracurricular educational fees and improvement of educational methods, parents of school children will welcome the online service with anticipation.

NHN Corporation is Korea’s leading Internet company and operates South Korea’s most used search portal, Naver (http://www.naver.com/), as well as the leading online game portal, Hangame (http://www.hangame.com/), and the leading children’s portal, Jr. Naver, (http://www.jr.naver.com/). With its two business pillars of search and games, NHN provides a variety of online services and has come to be the nation’s largest Internet company in terms of its net profit. As a result, NHN’s taking on the publishing of Hanjamaru is mutually beneficial to both companies, and positions both Eduflo and NHN to reap great benefits in the near future.
