About
Namsan Seoul Tower (Korean: 남산 서울 타워), also known as the YTN Seoul Tower, Namsan Tower, Seoul Tower or N Seoul Tower, is a communication and observation tower located on the summit of Namsan in central Seoul, South Korea. The 236-metre-tall (774 ft) structure was the nation’s first tower servicing multiple TV and radio broadcasters, and is considered a landmark and symbol of the city.
The tower has gone by different names over time, and continues to have several used by various entities. Namsan Seoul Tower is used by the national and city government — and YTN Seoul Tower by its owner, YTN — to refer to the entire structure, from its base to the top of its antenna. CJ Foodville, the concessionaire operating the observation levels of the tower and the shops and restaurants located on them, markets those under the name N Seoul Tower. Local residents and Korean popular culture tend to use Namsan Tower or Seoul Tower.
