==History== Neowiz was founded in 1997 by 8 friends, including current Chairman of the Board Na Sung Kyun and Chang Byung Gyu, both graduates of the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology. The name is a combination of the words "new" (neo) and "wizard" (wiz). The company started off as an internet content provider by developing LiveCAST, a service that delivered customizable information (e.g. news, weather, etc.) to its subscribers online. Neowiz was not able to secure enough subscribers to maintain profitability due to the lack of affordable and simple internet access. However, it was able to stay afloat by providing software development services to internet service providers in Korea and Europe.
