.kr is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for South Korea (Republic of Korea). Registrations are processed via registration agents.

From September 2006, it will be possible to register domain names directly under .kr (while it is currently only possible for internationalized domain names). Trademark holders and public bodies will profit from an "early registration period", then the owners of .kr third-level domains will have a priority to get the corresponding second-level domains.
