Have any of you condemning the Lotte Mall actually been there? Yes, there have a few too many safety flaws with the building, but considering the scale of the building, I think it is to be expected. The mall and tower together will be something like 4 million square feet. Of course there are going to be some flaws. On the whole, though, I'd say that the building is very solid, as well as architecturally and aesthetically impressive.

Also, it's not like Lotte has never built any huge malls or towers before. The Lotte Department Store and Hotel have been standing in Myeongdong for over 35 years with no major problems. I don't foresee this Lotte World Tower being any different.

I agree, it probably won't fall.
However, it's kind of a running joke among many Koreans I know. They think it's unsafe and may fall, and joke about dying when they go there. Don't blame ex-pats for echoing those sentiments.

Any news on the dead construction worker? Weird that he was found just laying there dead by a security guard.
