NHN, based in South Korea, is a company that is disputed as being both a game publisher and game developer (no substantial evidence suggests they develop the games). It owns and runs websites to distribute its games and others and to provide other non-game related services. These websites are: Naver (an MSN like website), jrNaver (Naver for kids), Cururu, AsoBlog, Hangame (a game portal), and HappyBean. American game portal ijji is used for distribution for English speaking gamers while http://www.hangame.co.jp covers Japanese. NHN's registered US name is NHN USA Inc. which appears on the ijji website.
Please note that on each website, NHN is accredited as the copyright holder at the bottom of the homepage.
Hangame
Hangame (ハンゲーム in Japanese) is the original NHN game portal in the native Korean language. It has spawned two clones, ijji and Hangame.co.jp which have branched NHN internationally.
ijji
ijji is the North American English version of Hangame, hosted in California, for several Korean developed games (see list for such). It allows registered players to download and play their games via Internet Explorer and their website (probably to aid in anti-hacking, common with GunBound) for free; although in game benefits are available for players who purchase ijji coins with real money. Ijji coins can then be converted into in game currency (such as cash in GunBound).
