The Jisik Baljeonso (지식발전소) was established in 1998, and changed its name to Empas Corporation in 2004. The name Empas is a combination of e-media and compass.

Aiming to check its main competition Naver's rapid expansion, SK Communications, which owns the Korea's popular social networking Website Cyworld, acquired Empas on October 19th, 2006.
