Back in June GoDaddy had the top sale with SsangYong.com which sold for $46,000. Interestingly the name closed at $7,200 in 2022 at GoDaddy auctions.
There is a Wikipedia page for the SsangYong Group.
SsangYong Group was a South Korean chaebol (a Korean family-controlled conglomerate). Tracing its origins to 1939, by the 1970s it was one of the largest enterprise groups in the country, before disintegrating in the wake of the 1997 Asian financial crisis. Internationally, the group was best-known as the parent of Ssangyong Engineering and Construction, SsangYong Cement, SsangYong Paper, Ssangyong Oil Refining, Ssangyong Investment & Securities, and SsangYong Motor Company among its many interests.[1]
The name SsangYong is taken from the Hanja characters 雙龍, which translate literally to “Double Dragon.”
I think the Double Dragon must mean something to a lot of Asian investors and a few played the auction shill game. The closing price has been rolled back to $135 and the domain is now listed for sale at Afternic.
