Editing .kr (section)

== History ==
From September 2006, it became possible to register domain names directly under .kr (although this is currently only possible for [[internationalized domain]] names).

Trademark holders and public bodies benefited from an "early registration period", after which the owners of .kr third-level domains had priority to get the corresponding [[second-level domain]]s.
