Having been offered at KRW135,000 apiece, shares began trading at KRW270,000. That gives the company a valuation of $8.38 billion and gives agency co-founder Bang Si-hyuk, with a 36% stake, a net worth of over $3 billion.

In recent days, the shares were priced at the top of their suggested range. When the company was being touted to institutions, bids were made for more than 100 times the amount of shares on offer. The retail offering that followed saw individual investors apply for 607 time more shares than the company was selling, though some analysts noted that that was less than the 1,000 time over subscription that the IPO of Kakao Games had enjoyed.
