[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Yoon-joo] Naver has invested approximately 150 billion KRW in the Spanish e-commerce company 'Wallapop'.
According to foreign media on the 25th, Naver indirectly invested 115 million euros (155.5 billion KRW) in Wallapop through the European startup investment fund 'K-Fund'.
Wallapop is an e-commerce app actively used in Spain. It is reported to be frequently used for peer-to-peer secondhand transactions, similar to 'Danggeun Market' or 'Bungaejangter'.
A Naver official said, "This decision was made considering the growing attention to the resale sector," and added, "We will also consider long-term collaboration plans with Wallapop."
