LS Cable & System is buying 16 percent of Kosdaq-listed KT Submarine, a submarine cable supplier, for 25.2 billion won ($17.6 million), it announced Tuesday.
With the equity investment deal, LS Cable & System will become the second largest shareholder of the company following KT, which currently holds 36.92 percent of the stock.

KT Submarine fell 1.74 percent in trading Tuesday,
