Empas

Empas (Korean: 엠파스) was one of the popular total internet search tools and web portal sites in South Korea.

Empas was one of South Korea's most popular web search engines, and competed with Daum, Nate, and Naver.

Empas was the second most popular web portal in the country from 2000 to 2001, by unique page view.

Since the dominance of Naver started in 2003, however, the market share of Empas declined, and by late 2005, it had fallen into the fifth place amongst the South Korean web portals.

In 2006, aiming to check its main competition Naver's rapid expansion, SK Communications (which owned South Korea's popular social networking website Cyworld) acquired Empas on 19 October 2006.
