A 30-Year Journey Towards Dreams
JiranFamily celebrates its 30th anniversary. What began as a small dream of four college students in 1994 has grown into a dream platform encompassing nearly 1,000 Jiran members. Starting with “Sleepless Time,” the company has established itself as a leading domestic software company, introducing market-leading products such as “CoolMessenger,” “SpamSniper,” and “WebFilter.”
Over the past 30 years, JiranFamily has grown through continuous challenges and innovation. Notable achievements include entering the Japanese market in 2004, expanding globally, receiving the $1 million export tower award in 2011, and the KOSDAQ listing of JiranSecurity in 2016. The company has also continuously expanded its business areas by establishing new affiliates such as JiranData and JiranComms.
To reflect on this 30-year history and envision a new future, a press conference was held on August 29, and the 30th anniversary Jiran Family Day “DREAM 100” was held for Jiran members on August 30.
