'Naver Blog Event Controversy Over Early Termination Resumes on the 24th'

[Asia Economy Reporter Bu Aeri] Naver will resume its blog reward event on the 24th.

On the 7th, Naver stated, "We plan to restart the #OneDayDiary challenge, keeping the expectations and support we received through the challenge intact while addressing the shortcomings." They added, "We will also clearly establish the participation guidelines, which were somewhat unclear before, and provide a separate announcement on the 17th."

Previously, Naver held an event called the "Daily Challenge #OneDayDiary," where users who posted diaries on their blogs for two weeks from the 1st to the 14th were rewarded with 16,000 won in Naver Pay. However, the event was controversially ended early after just three days.

Regarding the early termination, Naver explained, "The purpose was to encourage users to record their genuine daily diaries every day, but there were too many 'abusive' participants who copied and pasted posts using multiple IDs." Nevertheless, Naver later faced criticism for "deceiving users."
