<li>For Kakao Bank, the 6M IPO lockup (2.79%) will hit the market. Also, the possibility that the 4.48% stake held by Anchor/TPG will hit the market should be left open.</li>
<li>In Krafton's case, Tencent is the most notable player, owning 13.56%. It recently suggested a reduction in overseas holdings. So, some of this 13.56% stake should appear in the market.</li>
<li>The 4.84% stake held by Premier Superior is available after February 14. Samsung Electronics and Samsung SDS shares by the Samsung family are also likely to take place in February.</li>
