• This building has brought a lot of economic growth to the surrounding area.
• The residential facilities here are one of the most expensive in Korea.
• This building was the least feasible among the skyscraper projects being pursued in Korea.
However, it was a bucket list and a long-cherished project of Shin Kyuk-ho, who was the chairman of Lotte Group.
He was old enough. He hoped to complete the building while he was alive. Therefore, the plan progressed quickly.
To build this building, we changed the runway of the nearby airport and made a dramatic compromise with Seoul.
The funny thing is, the fortune teller told him that building over 100 stories would make him over 100 years old.
He died at the age of 99 about four years after the building was completed.
• If you want to visit the observatory of this building, I recommend you arrive at 4 p.m.
It takes about an hour to enter, and you can see the fantastic sunset.
