The fifth-tallest skyscraper in the world has been unveiled in South Korea with a spectacular fireworks display.
The Lotte World Tower in Seoul is a 123-floor and 1,819-foot building, which sits on the banks of the river Han.
Even though the final floor was built in December 2015, the skyscraper will be opening for the first time tomorrow.
The looming spire, which towers above the Seoul skyline, was inspired by Korean design and includes a seven star hotel, an observation deck and a rooftop cafe.
The glass tower was influenced by traditional ceramics and calligraphy, and tapers towards the top of the building.
The architects aimed for the building to be as eco-friendly as possible and included solar panels, wind turbines and water harvesting systems.
The Lotte World Tower is 56 feet taller than One World Trade Centre in New York City, which is the sixth highest skyscraper in the world.
The tallest building in the world is the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, which was built in 2010
