Netmarble sold 20 percent of the company's outstanding stock.

Analysts said the price of the stock could be at the top of an indicative range, or 157,000 won ($138) apiece, given bright prospects for the mobile game industry.

Last year, Netmarble reported a net profit of 209.2 billion won on sales of 1.9 trillion won. (Yonhap)
