The observation tower will be the new national gateway landmark for korea as passengers travel to and from Incheon International Airport. Instead of symbolizing prominence as another of the world tallest and best tower, it sets itself apart by celebrating the global community rather than focusing on itself.

• Characteristic A

Positioned as the new gateway landmark in the dynamic global economy of northeast asia, tower infinity in the Cheongna area of Incheon, Korea represents the new 'Soul' of Korea by celebrating the global community rather than focusing inward on itself.
The design inspiration was based on an introspection of the Korea nation, its people, where we have been and most significantly where we see ourselves headed as a proud nation and how we are perceived in the realm of this global community. In this sense the  competition evolved as an opportunity to provide a  social commentary and challenge the status quo of all which is finite.

• Characteristic B

Unique series of experience from pre-show to sky-high observation, coupled with lounges, restaurants and exhibits from plaza to 450 meters above. En route to the top, the elevator shows visitors views from other landmarks from around the world.

• Characteristic C

Soar simulation ride features a unique fly-over above korea's key destinations.

Mid-leveled observation deck.
Pronto cafe and lounge areas.
