Egloos is a South Korean blog host, established in 2003. Its current owner, SK Communications, claims it to be a professional publishing system. The ISP acquired the service in 2006. The name "Egloo" is derived from the word "igloo" and represents a personal online home for its users' lives. Egloos's website states that service will end on 16 June 2023 (2023-06-16). The site is reported to have around 1 million users, but lost users to foreign blogging sites in 2009 due to concerns regarding the South Korean government's monitoring of its citizens: "Since April 1 (2009), the government mandated Internet users to make verifiable real-name registrations on all Web sites with more than 100,000 daily visitors, which means they have to submit their resident registration codes, the Korean equivalent of social security numbers" web-browsing behavior.
