How high is the tower on the right hand of Seoul Tower? When was it built?

There is a second tower close to it. How tall is it? When was it built? What is its name?

[edit] 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)

[edit] 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 [1] this tower eclipses Seoul Tower (Namsan included) by 149.1 meters. Here is another example at 628 meters [2], and one at 624.5 meters [3]
The comparative table has already been compiled on Wikipedia [4] 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.

[edit] 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)

[edit] 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)
