Across these 50 most recent South Korea rounds (2026-05-19 to 2026-06-30), one disclosed outlier stands out: LegoChem Biosciences closed a $214M round on 2026-06-26, which dwarfs the next-largest disclosed amounts like IBK Capital’s $150M (2026-06-12) and XCENA’s $135M (2026-05-29). By contrast, the disclosed smaller rounds cluster tightly around low-to-mid single-digit and low tens of millions; several AI-focused deals in late June sit at $2M–$3M (e.g., Deeply $2M on 2026-06-15; Metainnotech $3M on 2026-06-15; Verse Work $3M on 2026-06-23).
Stage and classification are also concentrated: 33 of 50 entries list “Series Unknown” or “undisclosed” amounts (e.g., Patenty AI on 2026-06-29 is undisclosed; Aristo on 2026-06-25 is undisclosed; CHEXCAR on 2026-06-17 is undisclosed; Huons BioPharma on 2026-06-23 is undisclosed). Sector-wise, Artificial Intelligence appears repeatedly across the window (CYTUR, Colosseum, AIT STUDIO, Dfinite, Deeply, Metainnotech, Sentinel DeepActive, Evom AI, SKAI Intelligence, PROMEDIUS, Tiro, Motif Technologies, VibeAI, Lomin, and others), with most of those AI rounds centered in Seoul during the last two weeks of June.

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed round in this list, and how separated is it from the rest of the disclosed amounts?
LegoChem Biosciences’ $214M on 2026-06-26 is the only disclosed deal above $150M, and it sits far above the next-largest disclosed amounts: IBK Capital’s $150M (2026-06-12) and XCENA’s $135M (2026-05-29).
Do rounds cluster into a narrow date window within the 50-row view?
Yes. The most recent date shown is 2026-06-30 (CYTUR with $3M), and a large share of disclosed rounds fall between 2026-06-15 and 2026-06-26 (e.g., April Bio $124M on 2026-06-25; PROMEDIUS $14M on 2026-06-05; Solivis $14M on 2026-06-04), indicating a late-June concentration rather than a spread across the full range to 2026-05-19.
Which classification pattern dominates: “Series Unknown” or undisclosed amounts, and what does that imply for diligence?
33 of 50 entries either list “Series Unknown” or have “undisclosed” amounts (examples include Patenty AI 2026-06-29 undisclosed; Aristo 2026-06-25 undisclosed; Huons BioPharma 2026-06-23 undisclosed; Selectica 2026-06-18 undisclosed). That means disclosed deal sizing and stage granularity are limited for roughly two-thirds of the visible rows.
Are any sectors over-represented relative to the rest, based on repeated labels in the rows?
Artificial Intelligence is the clearest repeat: multiple AI-labeled companies appear throughout the late-June window, including Colosseum (2026-06-23, $1M), Deeply (2026-06-15, $2M), PROMEDIUS (2026-06-05, $14M), Tiro (2026-06-01, undisclosed), and Motif Technologies (2026-05-27, $16M).
Are there smaller disclosed rounds that look unusually low compared with typical disclosed sizes in the list?
Yes. Several disclosed deals are sub-$1M, including Sentinel DeepActive at $750K on 2026-06-14 and Retriever at $330K on 2026-06-09; these are much smaller than the disclosed mid-to-high millions repeatedly shown alongside them (e.g., Dentlink $8M on 2026-06-23; Perseus $11M on 2026-06-10; LabGenomics $13M on 2026-06-08).
