The domain has been listed for sale for over 20 years and remains for sale.

    "procedural_factors": "<p><strong>Preliminary Issue: Language of the Proceedings<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Panel notes that the Registration Agreement is in Korean, making Korean the default language of the proceedings. However, the Complainant has requested that the proceeding be conducted in English. Under UDRP Rule 11(a), the Panel has discretion to determine the appropriate language of proceedings, considering the specific circumstances. See Section 4.5, <em>WIPO Overview of WIPO Panel Views on Selected UDRP Questions, Third Edition<\/em>; see also <em>Lovehoney Group Limited v yan zhang<\/em>, CAC 103917 (CAC August 17, 2021) (where proceedings were conducted in English despite the registration agreement specifying Japanese as the required language). The Panel notes that (i) English is a neutral language; and (ii) the disputed domain name and all content on its resolving website are in English, suggesting that the Respondent has sufficient knowledge of English for these proceedings. Under UDRP Rule 11(a), the Panel finds the Complainant&rsquo;s argument persuasive. After reviewing the case circumstances, and in the absence of a Response or any objection to the Complainant's request, the Panel decides that English will be the language of the proceeding.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Panel is satisfied that all other procedural requirements under UDRP were met and there is no other reason why it would be inappropriate to provide a decision.<\/p>",
