They worked (maybe still? didn't keep in touch) for Naver with managing the startups and projects at Station F actually. Maybe you know them even, it seemed like Naver themselves only had a handful of people there at the time at least.
I only visited their offices a couple of times, but it appeared like they were having close interactions with the projects they took under their wings.

Naver does not manage, "pressure or influence" any of those projects with the except of their own. Again, they manage startups co-working spaces.
You seem to have good insights. Are you involved with VLC and/or Naver in Paris or do you have any idea how this decision came to be?

I'm one of the main devs
Naver manages part of a floor in Paris start-ups incubator "Station F" where they do share some space for a project founded by one of the companies doing VLC support.
