My gf is korean she said they just bought up NAVER too which is Korea's Google basically. Also I lived in Japan for 4 years and had softbank as my carrier, fuck them their phone bills are absolutely atrocious and they lock you to contracts you can't get out of without paying a huge amount of money or at a very specific time period before it auto renews every 2 years. edit: Apparently it's a joint venture not a buy

### REPLY:
Joint venture correct, 
 Naver is google of Korea, correct 
 Softbank bought Naver, incorrect. Although same parent company, NHN Japan operates independently and the main deal with Softbank will be exclusively on Line business

### END.
