Daum (Korean: 다음) is a South Korean web portal. It offers various Internet services to web users, including a popular free web-based e-mail, messaging services, shopping, news, and webtoon services. The word "Daum" means "next" and also "diverse voices" in Korean.[1] After competing with Yahoo Korea and Naver in the 2000s and 2010s, it has undergone a extended period of decline after its merger with Kakao in 2014, leading to the slow phasing-out of the Daum name in various services, including changing its name from Daum Kakao to Kakao, the migration of its accounts to Kakao accounts, and the closure or renaming into Kakao-branded services of various services, such as Kakao Webtoon (formerly Daum Webtoon) and KakaoTV (formerly Daum PotPlayer).
