GOM Player is a media player for Windows, developed by GOM & Company. With more than 100 million downloads, it is also known as the most used player in South Korea.[citation needed] Its main features include the ability to play some broken media files and find missing codecs using a codec finder service.[4]
The word gom (곰) means "bear" in Korean, and as such the icon of GOM Player looks like a bear's paw.
GOM Player has a free version and a paid version. The paid version name is GOM Player Plus, and it allows video playback without advertisements and includes convenient features such as simple configuration.
