Through this sale, Hancom achieved an investment return of 269.87%, compared to its total investment of 8,630,890,000 won.

The Agentic OS is a platform that connects internal organizational data, external AI models, and work systems to enable the operation of AI agents, and it is considered a core element of Hancom’s AI Transformation (AX) strategy.

Meanwhile, during the sale process, Hancom also decided to contribute shares to the employee stock ownership association to support the future growth and IPO efforts of Hancom Inspace, as well as to recognize the dedication of its employees.

Yeonsoo Kim, CEO of Hancom, stated, "The sale of Hancom Inspace is a meaningful achievement that realizes our investment returns while also securing resources to expand our AI business. We will focus the funds secured on acquiring global customers for Agentic OS, and strive to generate tangible sales and results in overseas markets."
