The N Seoul Tower (엔 서울타워), officially the YTN Seoul Tower, is a communication and observation tower located on the summit of Namsan Mountain in central Seoul, South Korea. Completed in 1971, it was initially a critical broadcasting facility used for radio and television transmission by major Korean media networks, including KBS, MBC, and SBS. It was subsequently opened to the public in 1980, quickly becoming a primary tourist attraction and a central city landmark.
Standing 236.7 meters tall from its base (and 479.7 meters above sea level), the tower provides sweeping, 360-degree panoramic views of the capital, making it a prominent feature of the Seoul skyline. The complex includes several observation decks, gift shops, and dining facilities, such as a revolving restaurant. A popular cultural element of the site is the "locks of love" tradition, where visitors attach padlocks to the perimeter fences as a symbol of affection.
The tower’s exterior features an advanced LED lighting system that illuminates the structure at night; the colors sometimes communicate air quality information or mark special events. Visitors can reach the tower by hiking, using a public shuttle bus, or taking the scenic Namsan Cable Car.
