This Form 6-K/A amends and restates in its entirety the Form 6-K filed

the agreement for the purchase of shares of Neo-Cyon, Inc. entered into by the
registrant.

Gravity Enters Into Agreement for Acquisition of
Shares of Neo-Cyon, Inc., a Mobile Multimedia Contents Provider

GRAVITY Co., Ltd. (“Gravity” – Nasdaq: GRVY), Seoul, Korea, November 16, 2005.

Gravity announced today that it entered into an agreement with certain
shareholders of Neo-Cyon, Inc. (“Neo-Cyon”) on November 15, 2005 to purchase
shares of Neo-Cyon held by such shareholders, which upon closing of the
transaction will result in Gravity holding a majority stake in Neo-Cyon.
Neo-Cyon, a Korean company, provides mobile multimedia contents services to LG
Electronics Inc., one of the largest manufacturers of mobile phones in the
world.  Upon closing of the purchase of the shares, Gravity will acquire
control over the management of Neo-Cyon and will be in a position to appoint
the majority of the board of directors of Neo-Cyon.  The purchase price of the
shares is approximately KRW 6.2 billion and the transaction is expected to
close on or about November 24, 2005.  Gravity announced that the purpose of
the transaction is to enhance its efforts in the mobile multimedia contents
business.

Since its inception in 2000, Neo-Cyon has built and serviced mobile multimedia
contents service systems, including mobile games, sound and graphics, in a
number of countries including in particular, Korea and Russia.  Neo-Cyon was
the first online games services provider to publish an online game in Russia.
The current intent is for Neo-Cyon to, upon completion of open beta testing in
the Russian market, begin commercial servicing of Ragnarok Online.

Through Neo-Cyon, the management of Gravity believes that it may gain
additional momentum in its efforts to strengthen its global game publishing
network.  Moreover, by pursuing game publishing in Russia, the management of
Gravity expects to further exploit potential opportunities outside of Asia,
where the competition for acquiring and retaining users of online games is
intense, and geographically diversify its revenue source.

Mr. Il Young Ryu, the Chief Executive Officer of Gravity, stated, “This
transaction represents a step to implement Gravity’s strategy of strengthening
global publishing capability.  In the online games market, where the first
mover advantage is important, this transaction represents the first step for
Gravity for establishing a stronger foothold during the initial stages of
development of a potentially important market, such as Russia.”  Mr. Ryu
added, “With Gravity’s current cash balances and close ties with various
licensing partners, Gravity hopes to build a stronger global network for
distribution of its online games.  Moreover, in order to meet the needs of the
users of mobile multimedia contents, Gravity will seek to simultaneously
introduce both online and mobile versions of games and thereby to strengthen
its market position in not only the online games market but also the mobile
games market.”
