All of Naver's doodles for this year (there are three) are by illustrator Yang Subin (양수빈) as featured in this behind-the-scenes Naver blog post where you can also see many more examples of her work along with the additional Naver logos:

Here's what Google said about the doodle:
This year marks the transition from the Year of the Dog to the Year of the Pig, the last animal in the cycle of 12 that represent each year in the shēngxiào, or Chinese zodiac. Pigs are considered a sign of prosperity in Asian culture, and those born in the year of the Pig are said to be sincere, good-natured, and honest.
Today’s Doodle also celebrates the ancient tradition of shadow puppetry, which also has a special place in the festivities. This year, people all over the world can Celebrate Lunar New Year and the ancient storytelling art of shadow puppetry with Shadow Art. Users can form one of the twelve zodiac animal hand gestures in front of their camera and the AI system, built with Tensorflow, will play a short clip matching the shadow puppet that’s been made.

Hope you folks had a good one. I picked myself up a nice pack of 모둠전 which I've been eating with my fingers. Don't judge me.
