LG Gangnam Tower, Skyscraper in Gangnam District, Seoul, South Korea.
LG Gangnam Tower is a 38-story glass and steel office tower located in the Gangnam district of Seoul, South Korea. The building houses office spaces, retail shops, restaurants, and a fitness center, all connected directly to the city's subway network.
The tower was built in 1997, when the Gangnam district was growing fast as one of Seoul's main commercial areas. It went up during a period when large private companies were building major offices in the capital to signal their place in the economy.
The LG Arts Center inside the tower hosts Korean and international stage productions throughout the year. The mix of theater performances and art exhibitions makes it a regular part of cultural life in the Gangnam district.
The tower connects directly to a subway station, so you can walk from the platform into the building without going outside. Restaurants and shops inside are open to anyone, making it a convenient stop even if you are not there for business.
The building uses soundproofing that allows live performances and office work to happen at the same time without any noise crossing between them. This technical detail makes the tower one of the few buildings of its kind in Seoul where two very different uses run side by side.
