Episode notes
Join Brian and Jay for episode 2 of the Naver arc: how Naver survived the dot-com bust — the Lee Jun-ho hire and the Hangame merger — then built the Knowledge-iN walled garden that kept Google out of Korea for 20+ years, and how the new AI Tab is Naver's bet to win the AI era the same way it won the keyword era.
