Musinsa, Sono International face IPO uncertainty amid market volatility

Korea's stock market has been experiencing significant volatility, causing uncertainty for companies planning to go public through an initial public offering (IPO). Musinsa and Sono International are among those affected, as a prolonged downturn in the market could negatively impact their valuations and reduce demand for new shares. This uncertainty is particularly concerning given the recent decline of the benchmark KOSPI index, which has fallen by over 7 percent in a single day.
