"Check HWP Documents Directly on Naver Whale"... MOU with Hancom

[Asia Economy Reporter Buaeri] From now on, users will be able to view Hangeul document files ending with '.hwp' directly in Naver's self-developed web browser Whale without installing any additional programs.

Naver and Hancom announced on the 20th that they have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to embed the 'Hangeul Viewer' as a default feature in the Whale browser.

This feature will be available to all Whale browser users. For example, by using Whale's unique 'Space' feature that allows two tabs to be displayed simultaneously on one screen, users can view documents with the Hangeul Viewer on one side while browsing the internet on the other.

The two companies stated that they plan to update the browser to support viewing various types of documents such as Word, spreadsheets, and presentations through Whale, not just the Hangeul Viewer.

Park Sanghee, Head of Malangmalang Service Business at Hancom, said, "Since we have supplied web office services in countries like the US and Russia, we will work hard to expand the domestic web office base through this cooperation with Naver." He added, "In response to the recent spread of untact (non-face-to-face) environments, we will focus our development capabilities on quickly adapting to cloud-based document work environments."

Kim Hyo, Whale Leader, said, "Through this MOU, we can provide users with a more convenient browser experience." He added, "We will continue to make various attempts to allow intuitive use of convenient tools through the Whale browser and continuously enhance Whale's scalability."
