Similar cities in Korea, Main-streets of downtown.

⚠ Warning : I'm not good at English

It's called 'Media Pole'. It's located in Gangnam main road in Seoul and cost $4 billion to build in 2009 and $1.7 billion to maintain in oneyear.
Those look like chocolate bars if someone who visit here doesn't know what is that.

The upper part of the media pole was made to show media art and the bottom part but now it is mostly using for advertisement and citizen in seoul don't recognize it functions as media art.
The bottom part was made to provide convenience like knowing weather, taking a picture and searching something wanna know. However, now those functions can be worked in a smart phone.

Trying those function in the first quarter of the year was not bad because smart phone were not generalized at that time but now most people have smart phones for that reason nobody wants to use this pole except for a few a small number of tourists.

Also It's frequently broken. About 2 or 3 times in one week.

It's called Media board, located in center of town in Daegu at the end of the year and cost $500 million to build and $100 million to maintain in a year.
As you see, it's broken and not attractive.

It was built in 2012 by Hanhwa which is one of the major companies.
I really don't know why they made that because that's demonstrated that that thing isn't useful anymore by other cases.

It's Daegu



As you see 4 pictures, all cities have a small brook in the center of the town.
this situation is similar to the media pole or board.
That's so sad to see most of cities are being changed similarly without own individuality.
