Gravity Enters into License and Distribution Agreements for Ragnarok Online 2
in China, Taiwan, Macau and Hong Kong

SEOUL, South Korea, January 10, 2007 - Gravity, Co., Ltd. (Nasdaq: GRVY, the
“Company”), an online game developer and publisher, announced that it has
entered into license and distribution agreements for Ragnarok Online 2(or RO2)
in China, Taiwan, Macau and Hong Kong.

The agreement for China has recently been entered into with a subsidiary of
The9 Limited in China, which is effective for four years from the commercial
service date. The agreement for the licensing of RO2 for Taiwan, Macau and
Hong Kong was entered into on November 13, 2006 with Gamania Digital
Entertainment Co, Ltd., and the term of the agreement is for three years from
the commercial service date of the game.

As a result of these agreements, the company is expected to earn in the
aggregate, a minimum of US$ 31.5 million for the term of the contracts
(through license fees and the minimum guaranteed payments) in the various
territories covered and there is a potential for more fees depending on the
market acceptance and success of RO2 in these markets.

Mr. Il Young Ryu, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Gravity, said, “We
have successfully carried out the first closed beta test of RO2 recently and
we are hopeful that RO2 will contribute to both the top and the bottom line
growth of the Company in 2007. Also, these agreements are important in that
our game continues to expand and penetrate the Chinese market, which we
believe is one of the most promising online game markets in the world. We will
continue to do our best to achieve the most positive result from publishing of
our games in China, Taiwan, Macau and Hong Kong with our partners, leading
publishers of online games in the territories.”
