About this audio guide
This guide to Seoul Sky starts in the summer of 2014, when cracks opened in the roads around Songpa and nearby Seokchon Lake began quietly losing water, just as a 555-meter tower was rising nearby. It follows the panic that followed, sharpened by the recent Sewol ferry disaster, and the review board of engineers who refused to let the building's mall open until the site was proven safe. You'll hear how neighbors suspected the builder of draining groundwater during construction. Look down at the streets that once worried everyone below you.
