How Kakao was Born Out of Naver (Naver Pt. 3)

Join Jay and Brian as we discuss the third part of our Naver arc and how Kakao was born out of a defection from Naver. Kim Bum-soo, the founder of Kakao, used to be the co-CEO of NHN/Naver alongside Lee Haejin, the original founder and CEO of Naver. This is the story of how his defection led to the creation of Kakao, one of the two largest internet tech companies in Korea today, and what the differences in DNA are between Naver and Kakao based on how their businesses developed.
