The DLI (Daehan Life Insurance) 63 Building is a skyscraper on Yeouido Island, overlooking the Han River in Seoul, South Korea. At 249 meters (817 ft) high, it is the 3rd tallest building in South Korea, the 135th tallest building worldwide, and is a Korean icon among skyscrapers. 63 refers to the building’s 63 official stories, of which 60 are above ground level and 3 are basement floors. Construction was completed in 1985.
