“There is no science, but there is aesthetics”

Daejeon Expo Science Park, the symbol of the Science City
In the end, all but the Hanbit Tower and some facilities were demolished.

This place is called 'Expo' for short.
A historic fair held in Korea in 1993
I decided to keep it forever to commemorate it,

Outdated facilities and operational problems
Falling into ruins that no one is looking for
Eventually, the Ministry of Public Administration and Security received a liquidation order.

It was a place that even citizens did not visit,
The expo, which was strongly symbolic as a landmark,
I have continued to live with the same public opinion as Gyereuk.

Finally, in 2014, when the <Expo Re-creation Project> was approved,
It broke the starting line of a full-fledged rebirth.

At this time, I was also a citizen of Daejeon.
I was very interested in what would happen at the expo,
The candidates I heard at the time were all huge.

With investment from Paramount, Universal Studios
Whether a theme park is built or a second Lotte Tower is built.

In the end, Shinsegae Group took over the operating rights of this place.
This year, it opened under the name of 'Daejeon Science Complex'.
With 43 stories above ground, it is the tallest building in the non-metropolitan area.
It includes Shinsegae Department Store and a five-star hotel.

The picture was taken at Starbucks on the 38th floor of this place.
After Starbucks on the 99th floor, Haeundae
It took the honor of being the second tallest Starbucks in the world.
(* Branch name is Daejeon Expo Sky Branch)

The seats are full, but there is no wait to look around the view.
The viewing angle is limited, so the turnover is fast.

Reborn as a complex cultural space from an abandoned park
Daejeon Science Complex is everywhere
Although there seems to be no connection with 'science',

I realized when I saw the towering skyscrapers and the overflowing crowds.
Now there is no science here, but there is aesthetics.
