Nope
It won't be completed this year, and it will never be second tallest in the world.

Anyone have an update on this one?

The base is too fat or the top is too thin.

I agree. Its a little bit on the heavy set but still might look good. I'll judge it when it tops out with lots of cladding complete.

Based only on the rendering, I agree. I find the top too tapered, I find the bottom too wide. Still, there is a lotte time before it is topped out, so it could end up being spectacular.

Haha, it's pronounced Lo-tay!

yes, I know. That brand, along with Hyundai, is ubiquitous in Korea. On everything from candy to department stores to hotels. I stayed at the Lotte Hotel Seoul (Myeongdong) when I visited Korea.

Now back to my Tteokbokki

It just makes the schtick a whole lotte funnier.

I agree with the tapering being too much. It's tall enough that perspective along with a slight taper would have achieved a better illusion of excessive height. Asia is giving me such a warped sense of what is tall anymore. 150m. Pfft. 200m. Pfft. 300m. Pfft.

And I live in a city where 100m would be the tallest thing by quite a bit.
