AhnLab, which has been on the rise for the third day, closed at 101,700 won, up 11.51% the previous day.
With Chairman Ahn being mentioned as a candidate for the next government prime minister, AhnLab is rising sharply thanks to foreign buying.
If Chairman Ahn, who is the largest shareholder with an 18.6% stake in AhnLab, becomes prime minister, AhnLab stocks must be put in a blank trust with a financial institution.
