Korea Economic Daily (Seoul) – NHN is receiving a new value assessment as “an AI‑infrastructure company” by rapidly building an AI data center based on its existing games and payment businesses. On April 13th at the Korea Stock Exchange, the company's stock price fell 4.46% from the previous day, closing at ₩53,600. The share that had been rising this year broke through the ₩70,000 level in August and has since then fluctuated.
The price movement reflects the market’s reaction to NHN’s pivot toward an AI data‑center business. The company is expanding its AI‑based service offering using the core capabilities it developed in games and payments, recording a growth rate of 84.51% and showing upside potential for share prices.
A key strategy is focused on operating the AI data center and building related infrastructure while deploying a risk‑minimization approach. This signals that the firm seeks new revenue generation paths beyond its existing profit models. Investors and market participants expect these changes to positively influence the company’s long‑term growth outlook.
