Will N Seoul Tower host Kim Jong-un and Moon Jae-in’s historical dinner?
Revolving floor and panoramic views of South Korea’s capital and 32 screens recounting the city’s 600-year history are a source of pride for citizens
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and South Korean President Moon Jae-in, along with their wives, may dine together at a restaurant on top of Mount Nam in Seoul during Kim’s possible visit to South Korea, a source from the presidential Blue House in Seoul said on Tuesday.
The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said a restaurant inside N Seoul Tower, an iconic landmark, is being considered for a historic dinner where visitors could see Kim in person.
“This is one of various ideas to treat Kim if he visits Seoul this year,” the source said. “The tower on top of Mount Nam is a symbolic place with scenic views of downtown Seoul and the Han River. That will be a great place for Kim.”
N Seoul Tower, located on top of Mount Nam, is one of the most iconic and popular attractions in Seoul. It has four observation decks including two restaurants.
“It’s possible an upper-level restaurant will be chosen as the venue for the dinner, as the restaurant, named n.Grill, has a revolving floor, offering a chance to access every view the tower offers just by sitting at the table. While having dinner, the leaders of the Koreas can get a night view of high-rise downtown Seoul,” he said. “The two can talk about the estimated economic benefits North Korea can get in return for cutting the regime’s appetite toward maintaining its nuclear arsenal.”
