Korea to get World’s Second Tallest Building
Incheon City authorized the Portman consortium to build 151-story twin towers in Songdo International City in the Incheon Free Economic Zone. The towers will be connected by three sky bridges and house a hotel, a convention centers, offices and a shopping malls. The multi-phased $11 billion project is part of Korea’s efforts to transform 1,500 acres of reclaimed land into an unrivaled business hub for Northeast Asia.
When completed, the buildings will be the world’s second tallest building behind the 160-story Burj Dubai that is under constructions.

Ridiculous. Anything to beat us. When the world doesn’t exploit us, they are too busy making us look bad. We had had balls, our dinky ass 1176 ft. Freedom Tower(yawn) would be a true monument to what this nation has lost. No. Wer let the region of the world which destroyed our buildings slap us in the face by their ugly creation, and now this????? PLEASE. WE NEED TO SHOW THE WORLD WHO IS IN CHARGE. WE WIN THE WARS AND LOSE LIVES AND FIGHT FOR OTHER NATIONS. LET’S GET A MONUMENT TO THAT.

This is for nations that feel a need to scream the loudest to get attention. Meanwhile there are slums in the neighborhood. Except for Korea must of these nations are backwards and have serious abuse issues.
Countries that are well developed like the US and Japan don’t need those bragging rights, we have developed better taste and are more akin to renovate or conserve existing structures that are actually beneficial to the people.
