<li>It will be difficult to reach a valuation consensus in the short term, suggesting the likelihood of substantially higher price volatility after listing. The IPO valuation itself is quite excessive.</li>
<li>There are not enough stories to instill growth expectations in investors. Expectations for regulatory benefits are uncertain. The inclusion to K-New Deal and WISE Media Contents are worth a look.</li>
<li>In conclusion, I do not recommend an aggressive approach to this IPO. Similar to SK Shieldus, we even need to consider a post-listing entry.</li>
