The company is in talks to acquire 92% of Korbit for as much as 140 billion won ($97 million), according to industry officials.

“Korbit has historically had a limited presence, but Mirae Asset Financial Group’s decades of expertise could allow it to pursue a differentiated strategy,” the official added.
