Le Korea Economic Daily (Seoul) – NHN, based on its existing games and payment business, rapidly builds an AI data center and is receiving a new value assessment as “AI infra company.”

On April 13, at the securities market, the company's share price fell by 4.46% compared to the previous day and closed at 53 600 won. The stock, which had been rising earlier this year, after surpassing the 70 000‑won range in August last year, has now slowed its momentum.

This price fluctuation is a market reaction to the company's attempt to shift focus to AI data center business.

The company expands its AI-based service provision based on the core capability that started from games & payments, and records a growth rate of 84.51%, showing an increase in stock price.

The main management focuses on operating AI data center and building related infra, deploying a risk‑minimization strategy.

This indicates the company is seeking new revenue generation methods beyond its existing profit model.

Investors and market participants see such changes as having a positive impact on the company's long-term growth prospects.
