Star Joint Venture Company is a joint venture between the Korean Post and Telecommunications Corporation, a governmental enterprise; and Loxley Pacific Company Limited, a Thai company.

It is the designated registry operator for the .kp country-code top-level domain (ccTLD) representing the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. As documented by IANA, the company holds full administrative and technical control over .kp domains, including authoritative name server management and registration services. The registry was formally redelegated to Star Joint Venture Company in 2011 and has since been the authoritative operator.[1] This role underscores the company’s position at the intersection of telecommunication infrastructure and national Internet governance in North Korea.
