I really like the new more factual and toned down presentation manner. It used to be too many 100 BILLION and MILLION and superlatives left and right. This is much nicer now!
Agree. With everything on TH-cam being really exaggerated and MrBeast-ified, more toned down and factual stuff stands out. It’s kinda why I’m subbed to this channel.
I am so happy that my favorite channel deals with my city!! I enjoyed watching it because it not just showed the project, but also dealt with historical and ethical contacts. I should add that there is another reason why this project has been dealt with again recently. As Seoul is a city of 10 million people, a huge amount of garbage has been produced and it has been dumped in a landfill in the nearby city of Incheon. The problem is that the contract for the landfill is running out, and Seoul needs a new facility to handle the wastes, which it plans to build in Mapo-gu, Seoul. The area was once the site of Seoul's landfill, where there was a huge mountain of garbage. The waste mountain is now turned into a park, but there is still a working waste disposal facility. The government wants to build a new waste disposal facility here, but residents of the area are very much opposed to the sacrifice, and the government is offering to build a landmark in the area as compensation. That is the landmark project in the video. In my opinion, the landmark will never be built because the residents will never allow a dump to be built in the area.
Yeah, spokes would make it look derivative. I think it should be diamond shaped. That would be distinctive as nobody I know of has a square ferris wheel.
@@GeekyMedia Vienna Prater Wheels, I think you mean. It was one of the stars of The Third Man in 1949. And The Living Daylights in 1987. Also Before Sunrise in 1995 if spy films aren't your thing.

Even if they build that, people wouldnt even recognize that is in Korea. When they talk about the most famous Ferris Wheel, most would immediately point to London Eye.
@@Tabula_Rasa1That is the wrong way around. Go back to the start of the video. When asked what pops up in your head when you think of a city, it is the landmark. It isn't asking you to think of a city with a type of landmark. Because the latter would mean all the towers and skyscrapers are meaningless since Burj khalifa will easily take the title nowadays. But no, when we think of London, people think of the Big Ben or London Bridge, not the London Eye.
@@neurofiedyamato8763 Some cities have multiple landmark like London, NYC or Beijing. All I am saying is even if this Korean Ferris wheel is built, people will still recognize the London Eye as the most popular ferris wheel. Having a ferris wheel or any structure does not mean it will become worldly recognizable. It takes time, love or hate from the people. For example, most people will not recognize that huge Chinese spokeless ferris wheel mentioned in the video eventhought it is bigger than the London Eye and possibly more impressive.
@@Tabula_Rasa1 yah, like how Orlando built their own "eye", which i think when constructed was the biggest in the world and bigger than the london eye. but it wasnt the original, londons was and thats where that type of landmark popularized so Orlandos didnt catch on as its landmark.
It's disappointing to see the Seoul Twin Eye project facing accusations of plagiarism. The original Seoul Ring design by Lee Eunseok and O’pus Architects was innovative. The Seoul government should acknowledge the original designers' work and handle this situation more fairly. Respecting intellectual property is important for encouraging creativity and integrity in architecture.
I never thought or imagined one of Seoul project would feature on B1M channel!! Seoul is improving every night and day and have areas to improve definitely!!
i think it was worse than that. he took one dubious, but obvious comedy track by Psy, and equated that to all of modern Korean music - a seriously bad take.
I find the SMG's desire to cement an "icon" for Seoul weird because, as a native Korean (who has since migrated overseas), I always thought Namsan Tower (now called N-Seoul Tower) was already the icon of Seoul, with the new modern icon being the Lotte World Tower.
Exactly what I was thinking too like when they said Seoul doesn’t have an icon I thought of Namsan and Lotte world tower as well as gyrongbpkgung palace.
@@armsid Probably not as iconic from the Westerner's POV.. many people don't think Korea and think of any towers unless you dive into the culture a little bit more.
@@GeekyMedia id wager Seoul is just not really known as a tourist destination and the same can be said for many other asian countries, theyre not viewed as "iconic" nations so of course people have no idea about their landmarks when they know almost nothing about the country to begin with. I think the nation the structure is in has just as much to do with the iconic nature of it as the structures architecture does.
@@Varocka hmm I’m not sure I agree. Many people can name world renowned landmarks from cities in China, Japan, India, and more. But you are right, Seoul isn’t really a big tourist destination. Although, I’m sure that’ll change in the future
I wouldn't say that Seoul doesn't have any big Landmarks. Sure it might not have something as worldwide famous as some other cities but when I think of Seoul I easily think of Namsan Tower and that is very much seen to be a landmark for the city and often the thing depicted in any skyline photo or artwork.
@@GeekyMediaThis “ferry” would not change that. Only the media exposure will and Namsan and Lotte tower are more suitable for shooting really. It’s just that in the popular films and shows they don’t really show them (those that the non kdramas fans watch)
@@LloydmeisterVid Lotte Tower, Seoul is a 555 m skyscraper. but since YOU have never heard of it, it must not be important, right? i mean, you must be so important because none of us have ever heard of you jeez, ego maniac, stfu and sit TF down
I swear this clip says the words “Seoul ring” more times the entire cast of “The Expanse” in which the “Sol ring” is a major plot device, well I mean maguffin, well actually I mean big magic ring thingee.
I don’t understand what removing the spokes achieves? They also have the advantage of being able to be used as led displays and like in London, can have fireworks launched from.
To me Seoul Olympic Stadium is iconic. Not as iconic as other stadiums, like original Luzhniki, Munich, Athens or Montreal, but still. By far the best stadium in South Korea.
It’s absurd to hear Seoul’s explanation that the idea came from the mayor. I would just hire the original designer and collaborate, rather than going through all this controversy.
But is this a Ferris wheel? For me a Ferris wheel is cabins with a 360 degree view. This does not have that, it is more like a standing up railway loop.
for a real second there when you mentioned Sydney, my home city I thought you were going to compare the absolute poor example of an observation wheel that is in Darling Harbour. You could see more sitting on a mates shoulders. They recently took it away when they bulldozed the whole western side of Darling Harbour to build new. And there does not appear to be a replacement planned in the models seen.
So, my thoughts on the design arguement. If the South Korean government bought the rights to that original ring design, then they can do whatever they'd like with it. It'd be like buying the blueprints to a house you're going to build then deciding you want to add an extension. It's your blueprint, go nuts! If not, well I'd bring the original guy on as a consultant and give inspiration/credit where it's due.

Confess that you are a sinner in need of God's Grace and ask God to forgive you for all your sins through Jesus. Jesus loves you. Nothing can compare to how He loves you.

the one thing I was interested in was not covered, ie how the cabins and their tracking mechanisms cross over the interlocking rings .
Good observation~ if you see the new design render, one is rotating internally and the other is doing externally~
@simulationkoyoIt is cool, but the double rings tamper with the views of the city. So to see it all, you would have to get in both wheels.
with a monument of this size, they could design the most basic track switching rails which could be manual, and still get away with it. though it looks like a complex problem, enginerring wise, it's not a complex problem. they have plenty of space to manage this well.
Agreed, this is what I was wondering.
My guess is the answer isn't fully designed yet.

Seoul does have the 555m Lotte World Tower to be fair, and I don't think this wheel will become any more iconic than that.

Great job, Seoul City! Your landmark is now being promoted as a case of plagiarism!
But I do find it ironical that Ferris plagiarised the idea for his Chicago Exhibition wheel!
Designers know that designs often suffer when you try to sidestep plagiarism issues. This is exactly what's happening here. The Twin Eye looks awful.
The Seoul Ring Zero was a prettier and more iconic design than this double helix nonsense.
