The AI chip startup is leaning toward KOSPI as investors chase semiconductor firms, with the PHLX Semiconductor index up around 80% this year.
- On Wednesday, Rebellions CEO Sunghyun Park announced the company is targeting an initial public offering in South Korea during the first or second quarter next year, leaning toward a KOSPI listing.
