The initially scheduled date was August 10th. However, as Kakao Pay's listing date was set for August 12, Krafton could not easily finalize the listing date due to the issue of mutual interference for retail investors with Kakao Pay.
The fact that Krafton confirmed the listing date as soon as Kakao Pay's listing schedule was delayed shows how sensitive Krafton was to this retail interference issue.

The listing date of Kakao Bank is August 5, and there is a gap of 3 business days until the listing date of Krafton. However, in this case, Krafton is in a position to absorb retail demand from Kakao Bank.
