It's also easier to refactor code without magic constants, as you have compile time bugs mispelling kNaverUrl instead of runtime bugs because "ww.naver.com" in one of 10 places.

You have a point, but on the other hand, it is much easier to write (kNaverUrl + "index.html") than to write "www.naver.comindex.html". So it just opens door for a different kind of bugs.

Then it becomes a function:

  kNaverUrl('index.html')

Multiple functions:

  kNaverWwwUrl('index.html')
  kNaverApiUrl('resource')

Then it get's refactored:

  urlGenerator('www.naver.com')('index.html')
  urlGenerator('api.naver.com')('resource')

Refactored even more:

  urlFor('naver_www', 'index.html')   
  urlFor('naver_api', 'resource')

Even more!

  urlGeneratorFactoryFactory(.......
