With all the new contsurction that has already taken place going even taller (not just a little, 1,000 ft taller) seems way out of place. Korea's population growth is flat. Unless Samsung is going to take up a huge portion in both towers, I don't see who in Korea would need that kind of ultra-luxary space. Many of these towers are being pushed by the local governments just to put their cities on the map. They're not based on supply and demand.
