Netian is a South Korean portal site operated by Netian from February 1998 to August 29, 2006.

History
The official service was started by Hancomnet Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Hangeul and computers, and Hancomnet Co., Ltd. changed its name to Netien Co., Ltd. in June 1999. After that, it acquired Joyon.com in September 2005, and went bankrupt in August 2006. In February 2007, Seoul Mobile Communications Co., Ltd. acquired the right to use www.netian.com from a bankruptcy corporation, and in July 2007, Netien Concierge Group Co., Ltd. reacquired and resumed its service on September 5, 2007.

Netien was the first portal site in Korea to provide a homepage-based service, and many users used Netien's website account. However, after 2000, many members began to exit as they could not find a clear business model and provide special services. In particular, in 2004, Netien Entertainment, a subsidiary of Netien, protested the disclosure of Lee Seung-yeon's nude photo book based on the Japanese military Japanese Military Sexual Slavery, causing members to withdraw collectively.

Eventually, Netien service was completely suspended from July 31 to August 4, 2006, as it was unable to pay for hosting the website worth hundreds of millions of won. Although it was temporarily restored on August 15, 2006, under the condition of paying unpaid charges, no new content was updated. However, the promised hosting fee was not paid, and eventually the website was blocked. At that time, Cosmo C&T, Netien's parent company, announced its position to clean up its portal site business, and Netien was bankrupt. However, Netien Dotcom Co., Ltd., which became the new operator, resumed service on September 5, 2007.

Netien Mail and CyberCash were restored on September 5, 2007. In addition, message services such as SMS/MMS and real-time stock price information text services were provided, but they are now suspended. Currently, the reopened site is operated by Netien and Arreo, and it does not function as a portal site and operates mainly on communication-based messaging services. For your information, Netien and Arreo use the same account. In addition, Netien acquired the 015 number and provides an Internet beeper service.
