Haeundae LCT The Sharp (Korean: 해운대 엘시티 더샵) is a major urban development project in Jung-dong, Haeundae District, Busan, South Korea. Located in front of Haeundae Beach, it consists of a 411.6 m (1,350 ft), 101-floor supertall landmark tower used as a hotel, and two 85-floor residential skyscrapers. It has an urban entertainment complex at the base housing a shopping mall, a hot spring spa and a water park. The landmark tower houses luxury and residential hotels with a convention center and an observatory on the 100th floor.
The towers are Busan's 2nd-4th supertall skyscrapers after Haeundae Doosan We've the Zenith, 301 m (988 ft) tall. LCT tower is the second-tallest tower[5] in South Korea after the 555 m (1,821 ft) Lotte World Tower in Seoul and is one of the world's top 10 most expensive skyscrapers.[6]
Haeundae LCT The Sharp was completed and opened on November 30, 2019.[7] In 2022, Haeundae LCT The Sharp hosted an exhibition for Proof, the anthology album of the South Korean group BTS, documenting the act's nine-year career. The exhibition was planned by the band's entertainment agency, HYBE which invited fans to immerse themselves in a visual trail of BTS' history.[8]
On February 20th, 2024, Busan police began an investigation in search of two jumpers who leaped with parachutes from the top of the 99th floor observation deck of the Haeundae LCT.[9]
