The institutional subscription competition rate is 1,871 to 1, nearly hitting the record holder SKIET's 1,883 to 1. In this bookbuilding, it seems that local institutions have been overbetting quite aggressively. In particular, it seems that local publicly raised funds with long-term holding tendencies have been active in securing the stocks. This proves that many local institutional investors felt that this IPO was price attractive enough for long-term holding.

The "Unspecified" category usually indicates that they want the shares above the high end.With that in mind, about one-third have gone for the upper end or above. The remaining two-thirds selected 75-100% of the upper end. All of the orders are priced at 75-100% of the upper end or higher. So, yes, we can say the institutional pricing is quite aggressive.
