“The GBC building, which Hyundai Motors decided to build at the site of the former KEPCO in Samsung-dong, is the tallest building in Korea with 105 floors and 569m high,” said Mayor Jeong, on his Facebook page. “Not only the meaning as a landmark building, but also a new job It is a large project that contains the wishes of our Gangnam-gu residents who wish for regional development as it is expected to generate 1.25 million units and 268 trillion won in economic effect.”
