The Trade Tower (Korean트레이드타워) in Gangnam district, Seoul, is one of South Korea's tallest buildings, part of the World Trade Center Seoul. The 54-floor Trade Tower high-rise was built in 1988[2] and stands at 748 feet (228 m). It resembles two quadro-level towers in mirror image of each other. It is part of the COEX complex. Its 52nd floor hosts a restaurant.[3]

Thirty-one seconds into the Gangnam Style music video, the Tower can be seen in the background while Psy is doing his horse-riding dance on the top of ASEM Tower. It can be seen again from far away 1:28 into the video.[4]
