Tallest buildings in South Korea, before Lotte World Tower completion.

This list of tallest buildings in South Korea ranks skyscrapers in South Korea by height. The tallest building in South Korea is currently the 123–story Lotte World Tower, which rises 555 metres (1,821 ft) and was completed in 22 December 2016. It is also the world's 6th tallest building. Other building complexes topping 300m include the three-building complex Haeundae LCT The Sharp in Busan (412 metres (1,352 ft)), Parc1 in Seoul's Yeouido district (333 metres (1,093 ft)), as well as the Northeast Asia Trade Tower in Incheon (305 metres (1,001 ft)). The Hyundai Global Business Center, which began construction in May 2020 in Seoul's Gangnam District, is expected to become Korea's tallest building upon completion in 2026. Also under construction is the Cheongna City Tower in Incheon, although this structure is likely to eventually be classified as a tower rather than a building.

Tallest buildings in South Korea

Only buildings over 180m (as determined by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat) are included.
