Talk:N Seoul Tower/Archive 1

Propose removal of hangul and RR, MR romanizations.
It's just called N Seoul Tower, and anyone who would spell it otherwise is a moron.Bethereds 20:14, 18 February 2007 (UTC)


 * I agree about removing the romanizations. It makes no sense to take an English word ("tower"), transliterate it into Hangul and then transliterate it back incorrectly.  The Hangul should stay though, since that is actually how it is written by any Korean who wants to write it in Korean. Rugbyhelp (talk) 04:09, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

World's Highest?

 * World’s highest communications tower? A bit dubious. At 236.7 meters, the tower itself is rather modest in comparison to any number of other towers, therefore the structure itself holds no distinction. If the claim is in reference to the base of the tower being constructed at an elevation of 243 meters, then logic dictates there are other communications towers that dwarf Seoul Tower with or without the hill being added in to the equation. For example at 628.8 meters  this tower eclipses Seoul Tower (Namsan included) by 149.1 meters. Here is another example at 628 meters, and one at 624.5 meters


 * The comparative table has already been compiled on Wikipedia and according to the information gathered – the claim that Seoul Tower is the world’s highest communications tower is simply erroneous (with or without Namsan factored in) .  The claim appears to be nothing more than unfounded boasting.

I think it holds some record. Not sure if this is the tower or not, but when my dad went to Seoul in 1990, he said that this tower held a record for being the tallest from the base of the hill its on to the top of the tower. Either that or for its level above sea level or something. So the claims that it is the tallest may simply be that someone is misunderstanding what is meant by tallest. -- Suso (talk) 01:17, 18 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Not even close. The tower + elevation gives roughly 480 meters. CN Tower and Ostankino Tower are both far over 500 meters without any elevation, just the plain tower. And Ostankino Tower was even built before this one! 82.141.118.32 (talk) 10:52, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

Why "N Seoul Tower"?
Why is it called the N Seoul Tower? What does the "N" stand for? Does it mean "North"? If so, why is it on Namsan [South Mountain]? Does anyone know? Thanks, CWPappas 05:35, 14 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Probably for "Namsan," since according to the article this was formerly called "Namsan Tower." -- Visviva 06:20, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
 * It was previously known as Seoul Tower, but was known locally as Namsan Tower, so I concur with Visviva on that one. JPBarrass 16:37, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

I have the same question. The article does not state that explicitly. I just visited the tower yesterday. I didn't do an exhaustive search, but neither the tower's web site nor any of the literature I have explains what the N is for--or for that matter, why, if it stands for anything in particular, the name was truncated to the N. Also, I have seen nothing, ANYWHERE, that even hints that the "official name" is "CJ Seoul Tower." Thanks. Holy (talk) 00:53, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

According to Korea's tourism website (http://english.visitkorea.or.kr/enu/SI/SI_EN_3_1_1_1.jsp?cid=264550), the N was added after renovations in Dec 2005, thus the "new", or N., Seoul Tower.

Lattice tower nearby
Close to N Seoul Tower, there is a lattice tower, which can be seen on http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8a/Seoul_Tower_2.jpg/800px-Seoul_Tower_2.jpg. What is its name? How tall is it and when was it built? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.46.222.10 (talk) 13:45, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
