South Korea’s No. 1 mobile game developer Netmarble Games is seeking to go public on the nation’s benchmark stock exchange KOSPI in the coming months.
The company has long gauged its initial public offering in Korea or the U.S. as part of its push for global expansion.
A NASDAQ debut could help it elevate its presence in overseas markets but there was risk of being undervalued as compared to KOSPI.

A NASDAQ debut could help it elevate its presence in overseas markets but there was risk of being undervalued as compared to KOSPI.
Sources say its recent failed attempt to acquire Playtika, the Israel-based online casino game developer, an affiliate of Caesars Interactive Entertainment, could have affected the company’s final decision.
The company proposed $4 billion in the July bid but a Chinese consortium-led by Alibaba won the bid for $4.4 billion.
With the new funding secured from the KOSPI debut, the company said it will continue seeking acquisitions while expanding its overseas services.
