The Korea Herald reports that yesterday a "4-meter-deep, 5-meter-wide sinkhole was found on a traffic island between IFC Mall and Parc 1 Tower in Yeouido, western Seoul at around 11 a.m."
It only took a quick look on Kakao Map to find its exact location. As it turns out, it's about 200 meters from the bunker turned into an exhibition space I mentioned here.
More disturbingly, it's about 150 meters from the site of retaining wall collapse that occurred during the construction of IFC on September 19, 2007, which created a 50-meter-long, 20-meter-wide and 30 meter-deep crater that swallowed several cars.
This might be something to keep in mind as authorities investigate the cause of the current collapse.
