If successful, this will be the largest IPO in Korea so far this year and also the first one that is explicitly marketed to international investors. The largest new listing year-to-date is the $179 million IPO for Huvis Corp, which was arranged by Daewoo Securities, Dealogic data show. The total value of IPOs stands at just $893 million, which is well below the $3.4 billion raised in 2011.
