[Asia Economy Reporter Jang Hyowon] Setopia, a KOSDAQ-listed company, announced that it has successfully completed a small-scale general public offering (GPO) capital increase aimed at securing funds for new business ventures.

The general public offering capital increase of 1 billion KRW conducted by Setopia from the 6th to the 7th achieved a subscription rate of 197.11%, raising approximately 2 billion KRW. The new shares are scheduled to be listed on the 23rd.
