A Japanese chat app is preparing to kick off what could be the world's biggest IPO this year

TOKYO — Emojis of a cuddly brown bear and his flatulent rabbit girlfriend Cony are met with investor skepticism as the company behind Line, the popular Japanese messaging app, prepares to kick off what's touted to be the world's biggest initial public offering this year.

Line Corp. will most likely raise $2 billion to $3 billion in a dual Tokyo-New York listing set for July, two people familiar with the matter told Reuters on Wednesday.

But the Tokyo-headquartered company has missed a trick by delaying the IPO until now, some fund managers said, pointing to Line's diminishing growth prospects in a Japanese market crowded with messaging platforms.

Is LINE rearry Japanese?

In 2014, South Korea's Naver Corp., Line's parent, said a dual initial public offering would raise up to 2 trillion yen, or $18 billion, predicting it would give Line worldwide recognition and improve its access to venture capital. But Line put that plan on ice last August, with its CEO saying the company would wait until its earnings and market conditions improve.

I think it's Korean but there is more popular app in Korea...which obviously sounds like a recipe for success.

Line Corp. is the Japanese company that runs the app. Naver Corp. is the South Korean parent company.

Line Corp. is the Japanese company that runs the app. Naver Corp. is the South Korean parent company.

I know that but LINE is all Korean as far as ownership is concerned.

there is a high probability that LINE is monitored by KCIA
李海珍, the president of LINE, developed KCIAs internet search engine.

dude, merica is a friendly nation basically having common interests with japan.
on the other hand, korea is, needless to say, a hostile nation which eternally socially need to keep making up japan as their evil dark lord.
it cannot be the same.
