Nope
It won't be completed this year, and it will never be second tallest in the world.

The base is too fat or the top is too thin.

I agree. Its a little bit on the heavy set but still might look good. I'll judge it when it tops out with lots of cladding complete.

Based only on the rendering, I agree. I find the top too tapered, I find the bottom too wide. Still, there is a lotte time before it is topped out, so it could end up being spectacular.

yes, I know. That brand, along with Hyundai, is ubiquitous in Korea. On everything from candy to department stores to hotels. I stayed at the Lotte Hotel Seoul (Myeongdong) when I visited Korea.

Now back to my Tteokbokki

It just makes the schtick a whole lotte funnier.

I agree with the tapering being too much. It's tall enough that perspective along with a slight taper would have achieved a better illusion of excessive height. Asia is giving me such a warped sense of what is tall anymore. 150m. Pfft. 200m. Pfft. 300m. Pfft.

And I live in a city where 100m would be the tallest thing by quite a bit.

Lotte is actually inspired from German. From Charlotte. Too much information or just a lotte?

Anyhow, I just love the advertising for Korean alcoholic beverages like Soju. Just like the good old days of Mad Men

I don't hate this type of glass but I prefer the cladding of 1WTC or CTF Guangzhou...
Huge tower!
