I would like to issue a call for volunteers regarding the Seoul/Korea areas on Skyscrapers.com.

As many of you know, Hong Yang has been the editor for Seoul on Skyscrapers.com for some time, and he's made many valuable additions to the site. However, I understand that he can no longer actively manage the area given time constraints.

I have had a longstanding interest in Seoul-area skyscrapers (having posted on skyscraperpage.com as v9 and drawing diagrams as JCX). I have signed on as an additional editor for Seoul at Skyscrapers.com, and I will be updating the area using notes I gathered last year. Unfortunately, I am no longer in Korea, and there is a very limited amount I can do. Besides, Seoul is too massive a city for any one person to handle. There's probably 10,000 buildings qualifying as high-rises by Skyscrapers.com guidelines (11 stories or higher) - and less than 750 buildings currently in the database.

I've noticed that many of the posters here have some excellent information, and I would like to encourage you to apply for editor positions. This way, we can lead a collaborative effort to bring Seoul and South Korea up to date.

If interested, please email me at jnchoib at coxb dot netb (remove the b's before emailing). Feel free to email in either English or Korean.

Let's bring this site up to speed, and give Seoul/Korea the true stature it deserves among urban areas.

JC

so, you must live in korea/seoul? damn...

I'm not eligible because of the age limit. I think Mookiecece can take the editor position. (I can still help gathering the data and pics. :))

Ellatur, I don't think current residence in Seoul is absolutely necessary if you have reliable information sources (emphasis on reliable), but current residence would probably help. You seem to know an awful lot about new projects, so perhaps this wouldn't be an issue if you could demonstrate that you have these information sources.

London, this should be a team effort - your idea sounds great.

I am definitely interested in applying for editorship. I am kind of busy with school work nowadays but hopefully our forumers and maybe daum cafe members can pick up the slack and gather information which I will upload. In the coming December, I plan to be in the neighborhood of Seoul for about 3 weeks so hopefully I wil be able to get more data firsthand. v9, I will email you in a couple of days about application. I love your diagrams by the way :)

btw, my computer keeps shutting down by itself. After it does so, I have to unplug the power and let it sit for about 5 mintures before turning it on, or else it won't even boot up. Does anybody know what to do about this?

I would but I dont live in Seoul.

simple, try kicking, pouring water on it, throw it from 4th storey, and if it still does not work, buy one :crazy2: :weird: :clown: :baaa: :nuts: :bash: :tongue4:

I replaced the coolers and it seems to be working fine now. I guess it was getting overheated or something? Still not sure what caused the problem but oh well... anyway thanks guys!

Seoul and other Korean cities certainly need help there....especially from local members.

Meanwhile, I can actually help to edit or add buildings too if you guys need the assistance! :D

Agreed.

kicking wouldn't have done it, but pouring water might've! ( 퍽 )

Oh no, cause world war 3 in your house.

Haha...whatever the case, v9 says he is already an editor for s.com?

Feel free to use the photos on my website for skyscrapers.com. Let me know which ones you want and we can discuss offline.

Just for the record, only Editors and Senior Editors are allowed to upload third-party photographs. The full names of third-party photographers much be reflected with their photos.

Let me know if anyone wants their photos uploaded for any building or any city, but please disclose your full names for that to be done. ;)

No problem. If they let me know we can discuss offline how to use my photos on the website :)

Feel free to send a message to notify any of the staff in that site. They dont usually go round asking for contributions...its the other way round.

Alternatively, why not just join as a member instead? ;)

Interesting .. I was invited last year to be an editor. I should consider that thoroughly :)

Sure, you should. I will be most happy to see you on the team. ;) But do be aware least you didnt know, that since several months ago, new members to s.com have to join at the photographer level first, and will have to proof their worth before moving up to more senior levels. I am sure you can do it? :)

And I presume the equation can go the other way, when some people disprove themselves and be bumped back down to photographer level! :)

Sure, I'll give it a try :)

:rofl:!! Nice try, my dear, but in s.com, it dosent quite work that way. ;) You will find out soon enough if you ever manage to reach to that level. :D

I look forward to your application. Remember giving false information in the application form will render your application null and void. ;)

is there an age limit to work in skyscrapers.com?

is there an age limit to work in skyscrapers.com?
No age limit anymore now, since you have to join at photographer level. There used to be an age requirement for editorship level, but they stopped offering that role.

btw, its not work. You arent getting paid for it for now! :D

And time will show true character rearing its ugly, or maybe beautiful, head :)
Sure....I am hoping to see another side of you which is hopefully far more worthy of your balls then the version which you have been displaying in this forums! :)

But I doubt your character will be salvageable anywhere, including here or there :(

Since I travel so much I can share photos for many many cities. So, how many cities do you represent? :)

MUAHAHAHAHAHA!!! THAT has got to be the most NAIVE comment I have heard coming from you!!! EVER!!!!!

Blindness is simple. Idiocy is even simpler :)
Why go through so much linguistic elegance to show something is plain stupid? The stupid people won't understand it, and the smart people would care less, so it's a wasted effort!

guys.... lets not fight! i think this thread is pretty important

guys.... lets not fight! i think this thread is pretty important
Yeah it is very important indeed. I would be completely bowled over if this chap wants to join s.com just to bring his antics into it. Perhaps he thinks s.com is some kind of a board of forumers bickering over the size of their penises or the colour of their faeces. The last I heard, many key members of senior management over there actually condemns forums like this one, calling it a playground for kids.

They are probably right. :)

I'll be more worried that people who can't argue intelligently are let loose into the world. We need less lunatics who refer to his opponents to eating shit because he is a sore loser and can't defend his weak arguments but resorts to ridicule and rubbish to desperately revive his hollow case and ego. Perhaps he can't focus to argue intelligently but let bestial instincts overwhelm his sense of reason and logic.

Back to the Korea issue. The language barrier is actually a major inhibitor in my search for Korean content. In fact, language barriers are quite evident in the comparatively lack of content from the non-English speaking world, not just on Skyscrapers.com. I know there are a lot of students studying abroad with good English. I hope they share their experiences and photos with the rest of the world in here, and at Skyscrapers.com.

There are a lot of English speakers in Korea. American in South, British in North.

Quite a few English speakers in the North.

You can rest your worries, my dear, because s.com is not a forum. You dont gain recognition and respect in s.com by telling them that you can talk with "reason and logic" in a forum like this, even if we were to assume in the worse case scenario, that all that you have to say about me is true. It still makes everyone wonder, dosent it, that I am all you make me out to be, and worse, then what explains my position over here and in s.com, in relation to yours?

Not that I need to gloat. The fact is that in the entirety of ssc, there is just ONE member who gets to enjoy the sadistic sides of me, and that is you. If I may add, those few kids you forced to join ssc just to haul insults at me are basically you by extension, so it is still one. Why do you get to enjoy such an honoured and exclusive status, you really have to reflect on your own behavior.

I did not get to where I am today based on how I treat you, so if you naively think that is the case, you ought to get your head out of the mud. The same old problem of you heaping all the blame onto others is clearly evident here again, when all the facts point to the fact that it is still you and you alone, plus the small number of kiddy sidekicks who got influenced by you (not surprisingly, they all happen to pop from the same city as you) who gets such lucrative treatment. And facts point to the fact that you did not cause irritation to me alone. Not only did you get into the blacklist of practically every single forumer from Singapore who crosses paths with you, it has been noticed that the same thing happens to even some folks who hail from your adopted country, or where ever you happen to be.

What do all the facts collectively show? You really cant do much to dent my reputation, because I dont join ssc just to talk to you. Its not like I made almost 14,000 posts just for you alone. And if you think I am here to soil your reputation, grow up. If you learn how to get off people's backs, learn how not to over-react and stop getting personal just because others dont quite agree with your views, learn how to basically acknowledge the fact that you dont monopolise the world's knowledge, then I will be most glad to leave you alone in your hole.

Will you? :)

Yes, it is indeed true that non-English speakers are a barrier to s.com. But things may change within s.com, when multiple-language support goes through as planned. Korea is not one of the languages to be offered in the list I saw earlier, but if we have help from you guys, it can be pushed through earlier.

Meanwhile, what s.com really needs, are local Koreans who have at least a reasonable grasp of English to work with the tools, and who are most preferably staying in Korea at present, or who are in Korea often enough to be able to contribute on a regular basis, preferably at least once per month. In the long term, these may help to build up a Korean version of the site, and allow us an ability to accept more Korean speakers to the team.

But in the end, it is the photo quality itself which is of utmost importance for now, since all of you will have to join as photographers unless there are excruciating reasons to fast track you on your promotion. Korea is one of our weakpoints in the database, and that might be one major reason in itself.

So snap away, and good luck! :)

PLEASE GUYS STOP FIGHTING!!!!!!

also, if you have any problem in korean, i would be willing to help

Interesting .. I was invited last year to be an editor. I should consider that thoroughly :)

Thank you very much for correcting/adding info, huaiwei. :) Unfortunately, Jimmy Kim is currently not active. However, I talked with a Jeonju local last night and confirmed it by checking the digital map of Jeonju. There is no "Jeonju Department Store", though there are many other department stores like E-Mart and Lotte.

There's one more change to make. The official height of Jeollabukdo Provincial Government Office is 92m according to the rendering in the construction site.

If I find more information/errors, I will PM you with the correct/additional info for the replacement/addition. Thanks in advance!

hi guys, long time no see. Guess what, they sold one of my pics in Skyscrapers.com! Yeeeeah!!! They told me they would pay me (I don't know how much) in about 3 months... I'm still waiting...

For the Centum City project, is it possible for you to help list out the details for each building, especially the official building names and addresses, and year of completion for eg? Most of the info are in Korean! :D

Thanks, and my apologies for the delay.

As far as I know, Seon Reung Gold Rose I is also completed as of 2003.

About the Centum City Project, the Centum Park is a separate project from the Centum City. They are located right beside to each other, but it doesn't mean that they are the same project. Centum Park is 100% residential while Centum City is mostly commercial and partially residential (i.e. Trump World Centum). You can find almost all the info that you need about the Centum Park Project from my thread "Posco's the Sharp: Centum Park, Busan (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=114787&page=1&pp=20) " in the U/C subforum, and for the office/residential bulidings inside Centum City, I'll post them here as soon as I find the info.

Again, thanks for your help, huaiwei :)

"부산 동래구 온천동에 전국 최고층 아파트가 들어선다.

벽산건설은 23일 동래구 온천동 옛 늘봄호텔 부지에 들어설 아파트 '아스타'의 착공식을 오는 27일 갖고 본격적인 공사에 들어간다고 밝혔다.

규모는 지상 52층, 3개동 668가구로 순수 아파트로선 전국 최고층이다. 기존 최고층 아파트는 서울 강남구 삼성동 아이파크 46층이다. 주상복합아파트는 서울 양천구 목동 현대하이페리온과 강남구 도곡동 타워팰리스 69층이 가장 높다.

그동안 해운대구 우동에 건립 중인 주상복합아파트 '센텀파크' 51층이 부산에서 가장 높았고, 순수 아파트의 최고층은 동구 범일동에 건립 중인 두산 위브 포세이돈 47층이다.

벽산건설 관계자는 "국내 최고의 높이를 자랑하는 아파트로서 새로운 주거 문화를 선도하는 브랜드로 만들 것"이라고 밝혔다.

분양은 10월께 예정하고 있지만 평형이 33~66평형인데다 평당 분양가 역시 평균 900만원을 훨씬 넘어서는 최고가 수준으로 검토 중인 것으로 알려져 고객들에겐 상당한 부담이 될 것으로 보인다.

한편 아스타의 신축에다 인근 옛 한독직업훈련원 부지에 건립 중인 SK허브스카이( 49층 ) 등 온천장 일대에 20층 이상의 아파트가 7개나 건립되고 있어 부산의 전통적인 휴양지 겸 유흥지가 초고층 아파트촌으로 변모되고 있다."

Anyways, thank you a million times for your effort, huaiwei :)

No problems once again! :D

Oh I forgot to mention...I need more information for those entires I have not added...especially the new ones you mentioned later in this thread....is there a website to refer to?

There are official websites for those projects - all in Korean though. You might have to ask one of the Korean editors at skyscrapers.com to check these websites and confirm the data I've posted a while ago.

Posco's the Sharp: Centum Park

http://www.centumpark.co.kr/

Daewoo Trump World Centum I

http://centum.daewooapt.co.kr/

Daewoo Trump World Centum II

http://centum2.trumpworld.co.kr/

And.. about the Astar Project, they haven't opened the website yet since the apartment units will not be on sale until October. I think we'll have to wait for a month or two.

I've got some more completed projects in Songnam. All I could find on the Internet was their names, but I'll post them anyways so that if someone knows any further info on these projects, they can post them here.

1. Bundang Pavillion
2. Bundang Pantheon Regency (or Pantheon II)
3. Bundang I-Park
4. Bundang Doosan We've
5. Bundang Mujigae Mael (Rainbow Town) Chunggu Apartment Complex
6. Bundang Parkview
7. Sindonga Familie
8. Sambu Renaissance Park
9. Sanbu Renaissance Park II
10. Hanbit Sweety
11. Mujigae Samsung Apartment Complex
12. Mujigae Jeil Apartment Complex
13. Yatapdong Sk Apartment Complex

There are at least 1,000 skyscrapers in Songnam/Seongnam, but nobody pays attention to this city. For God's sake, there are more than 100 +30-story-tall-skyscrapers in that city, not to mention that Metropolitan Seoul has more highrises than any other urban agglomerations on the Earth except Sao Paulo!

Can anybody make this thread sticky? ;)

@London: je suis sure qu'un certain moderateur s'en occupera. Sinon, demande-lui de le faire, hein? :)

Puisque Mookiecece est parti en ce moment, je pense que nous pouvons attendre de lui pendant quelque temps ;)

En disant ce que j'ai dit la-haut, Londres, j'avais pense au type qui travaille avec toi pour mettre au courant les informations sur la Coree sur le site S.com (j'ai l'impression qu'ils on change leur nom assez recemment). Il doit surement avoir lu et compris ton enquete, et j'espere qu'il va le faire. :)

Oh, nous ne devons pas nous inquieter de ces informations. Huaiwei nous aide beaucoup. :)

Er.....I can hardly make out what is being said...except for one word...huaiwei! :D

Lol, that didn't take much, did it now? :colgate: And could you please follow up on London's request in Post #68 now, Huaiwei, and make this thread a sticky? :)

Well, I would love to, but I cant, as I do not have the neccesary modding priviledges, and this forum is beyong my normal scope of things. Perhaps I shall ask mookie's permission first, before asking another mod to do it for us? ;)

I am slightly wary about stickying what some might see as a promotion of another site in this forum too!

lol :D

whoa.... lots of french words I don't understand... Didn't make a lot of sense except for the word mookiecece. hehe. Anyway I'm all in for the idea. I'm pretty sure everybody here would be pleased to see a better representation of Korean cities on S.com or emprois whatever it's called now. Thanks to London and huaiwei for the effort!!

Sorry about the French, guys! :angel: Seems London & I have a "secret" language (unless, of course, Exarchus or somebody else fluent in French pays a visit ;) ). Be assured, it was all perfectly above board. :)

Mookie, you seem to be back in business! :banana: I hope your computer won't act up again so that it'll stay this way! :okay:

welcome back mookicece!

we're thinking about nominating a deputy-moderator in case your computer is sick. what are your opinion on this?

Hi everyone,

Thanks for pouring in the great information! Sorry I've been AWOL for so long - I was actually in Korea at that time.

While in Korea, I tried to get a direct download of all buildings either (a) over 22 stories or (b) over 100,000m^2 floor space. The Seoul Metropolitan Government maintains such a database, because all such buildings require a permit from the city government. Each ku handles all smaller buildings.

Initial prospects looked good. I talked to a helpful young IT specialist who wanted to clear it with her superiors. Unfortunately, I ran into a career bureaucrat who insisted on "documents" - a signed letterhead, a memorandum of agreement with Skyscrapers.com, all that kind of BS. On top of that, she insisted that I address it to the "director of building permits." In other words, the standard bureaucratic runaround. Feeling like I got no respect at all, I feel like using very strong language here, but I'll (barely) refrain.

Apologies for not making uploads myself...I've been quite busy. I'm realizing that there's a very limited amount I can do, and that Seoul's just too big. So, I've given up trying to get a comprehensive database uploaded, and perhaps it'll be worth it just to get notable buildings up. I'll try to do what I can, but I can't promise much until the winter.

Until then, keep posting and I'll try to keep up. Thanks!

Lotte Castle Gold (http://www.emporis.com/en/wm/cx/?id=106950)

Completed in Dec 2004

Sindorim Posville (http://www.emporis.com/en/wm/bu/?id=164146)
I've heard of the names of stores located in this tower from tv a couple of times. The tower should have been completed then.

Gangnam Gold Rose (http://www.emporis.com/en/wm/bu/?id=166671)
Completed.



---------------------------------

For the following buildings, they are supposedly completed by now, but I need someone to double check. Any volunteers?

Galleria Palace wasn't completed even when I passed in front of it on May 2004, so Dec 2003 is wrong. Lotte Castle Gold's exterior might look complete but it will take a while before it's really completed.

I see... Well that's what naver.com said about Galleria Palace. They could be talking about facade though. It's completed now anyways.

About Lotte Castle Gold, do you know when ppl start moving in?

Man, on emporis they say 'will be connected to lotteworld', stating the obvious!

@vvwjo

Welcome to the Korean forum! 왤컴 ㅋ..

Welcome, aniyong hasaeyo.

welcome to the forums vvwjo!

Have a great time! :)

Welcome to the forum!

I'm raising the number of high-rises in Seoul to +1000 at SS.com!!!
It took a looooot of patience and time but I finally did it!!!

1000 already??? :eek:

I cheer you on, efesese! :banana:

you can do it :D

Well, I got the number to 1030. I think I can get it to over 2000 but I'm gonna need some time and help from you guys :D

nice :)

have you got all the towers in songpa-gu?

No, I reached the 1000 mark by putting ALL (and you can't imaging how hard it was) ALL the Mok-dong Apartments and others from Gwanjang-dong. But even in Mok-dong, there are many more isolated apartments and other "Mok-dong" complexes that are not even in Mok-dong but Shinjeon-dong. I know we'll get to 2000, have faith in me and patience ;)

hehehe your a champ;)

1,111!!!

damn, good work hyung!! Did you physically visit each apatment complex and counted the apts??

Thank you and great job Efesese-nim^^. I dont know if I could say this but...Keep up the good work :)

:D

if you need any help on anything im here :D
in Seoul for another week:D:D

keep up the good work;)

damn, good work hyung!! Did you physically visit each apatment complex and counted the apts??

no mook, i'm an Editor since the end of last year!!! I can't possibly take pictures of the 300 apartments and post them, that would take me a year! I'm adding all the buildings I can to the database. if you knew how complicated it is! That's why Hong and Choi are taking a loooooong break.

do you get payed?

if he gets paid...i wanna do it too! :D:D

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!! If I get paid, I would be rich by now!

NOT AT ALL!!! They even sold one of my "copyrighted" photos one june last year and NEVER paid me! This is just for the love of art I guess... :(

efesese님 galleria palace is finished;)

Thanx sunni, i'll change the status, according to the Samsung website it will be completed on February this year, but I think we can do that.

Guys, 1315!!! I rock!! :D

ONLY 1,500 POINTS BEHIND TOKYO!!

Is Academy Suite still u/c? :?

how do these points work?

I'm checking all the U/C buildings and I realized that this website doesn't change the status automatically for 2004 buildings, so I will. Academy suite I already changed the status, but the changes i make today you will be able to see tomorrow. And that list of skylines I think is outdated, when they update it with all the buildings I listed, I think Tokyo will look smaller ;)

Thanx sunni, i'll change the status, according to the Samsung website it will be completed on February this year, but I think we can do that.

Oh my God! We're almost over Tokyo! Thanx for cheering me up, but also I need your HELP PEOPLE!!!

Please look for ANY missing building, specially over 30 floors (the higher the more points) and COMPLETED. Well, if you find interesting U/Cs too, but those are not that helpful.

Anyway, let's keep it up!!! I promise we'll hit 2000 by the end of the week! keep loving me :D

I can, but remember I also have a "life" and uploading at emporis is not easy cake. First things first and Seoul will always be first.

there aren't any other emporis worker (active) who works on seoul?

Nope, the other 2 editors are doing more productive things with their time (I guess). It's me alone in the battlefield.

losers.....

efesese hyung, aren't the I Space towers supposed to be in Bundang?
