Camp Mobile, founded in February 2013, is a mobile application development company based in Seoul, Korea. Ram Lee and Jongmahn Park are the co-CEOs. The company currently operates seven mobile services ranging from social network service to smartwatch application, including BAND, Moot, SNOW, Whoscall, WatchMaster, LINE Deco, and LINE Launcher.
Camp Mobile is a subsidiary of NAVER Corporation, Korea’s dominant search engine and portal. Camp Mobile has international branch offices in the U.S., Taiwan, and India.
In February, 2013, Camp Mobile has spun off from NAVER Corporation with the BAND application, a group social network service initially developed inside NAVER. The main purpose behind the spin off was for NAVER to create a separate, agile unit solely focused on creating mobile applications for the overseas market.
In March, 2013, Camp Mobile launched LINE Launcher, an Android launcher application. In December, 2013, Camp Mobile acquired a Taiwanese mobile startup Gogolook, the developer of mobile caller identification service Whoscall.
In March, 2014, Camp Mobile launched LINE Deco, a phone decorating Android/iOS application.
In May, 2015, Camp Mobile launched WatchMaster, a watchface design platform for Android Wear. In September, 2015, Camp Mobile launched SNOW, a camera app featuring filters and animated stickers.
In November 2017, it was announced that Camp Mobile would be merged back into Naver Corporation in February 2018.[1]
