High above Seoul, fans step into Spider-Man's shoes

For ardent fans of Marvel’s web-slinger, standing atop the skyline offers an added layer of excitement beyond seeing the city on screen. At Seoul Sky, the observation deck atop the 123-story Lotte World Tower provides exactly that experience. Since the local theatrical release of Sony Pictures’ Spider-Man: Brand New Day, these enthusiasts have been descending upon Korea’s tallest building in costume, donning Spider-Man attire to reenact iconic hero poses, browse exclusive merchandise, and enjoy sweeping views that echo the superhero’s vantage point.

According to the tower operator Lotte World, the observatory has become a prime destination for moviegoers eager to amplify the cinematic experience. Visitors are flocking to the deck not only to build anticipation before heading to the theater but also to prolong the thrill long after the credits have rolled. Through August 31, the observatory is hosting Spider-Man: Brand New Day X Seoul Sky, a promotional event jointly organized with Sony Pictures.

Tower officials highlighted that the event capitalizes on the distinct allure of high-rise urban settings.
