[Asia Economy Reporter Minwoo Lee] Binggrae is recording a limit-up from the early trading session as news spreads that it will acquire the ice cream business of Haitai Confectionery & Foods.
As of 10 a.m. on the 1st, Binggrae's stock price rose to 62,600 KRW, hitting the daily price limit increase of 29.88% compared to the previous day. The decision to acquire Haitai Ice Cream, a subsidiary of Haitai Confectionery & Foods, appears to have acted as a positive factor.

Haitai Ice Cream is a newly established subsidiary created in January when Haitai Confectionery & Foods spun off its ice cream division. It owns popular products such as Bravo Cone and Babamba. Last year's sales were around 180 billion KRW, making it one of the industry's 'Big 4'.
