Gangnam Chunghyun Church Area in Yeoksam-dong
Shinsegae Chosun Hotel Under Renovation
Presumed to Be the Former Renaissance Hotel Building
[Asia Economy Reporter Cha Min-young] Chung Yong-jin, Vice Chairman of Shinsegae Group with 390,000 followers, revealed a photo taken at an anonymous location on his Instagram account. The location where the photo was taken is presumed to be the renovation site of the former Renaissance Hotel, which Shinsegae Chosun Hotel is planning to reopen.
On the 5th, Vice Chairman Chung uploaded a photo on his Instagram account in the morning with a short caption "Great View" without disclosing the location. It is presumed to have been taken from the building of the former Renaissance Hotel undergoing renovation in Gangnam-gu. The photo composition shows a panoramic view of Yeoksam-dong, Seoul, including Chung Hyun Church.
The former Renaissance Hotel is expected to house a hotel jointly launched by Shinsegae Chosun Hotel and the Marriott Group. Industry insiders estimate that a hotel of the highest brand tier, the "Luxury Collection," among Marriott International's brands, will be established. The opening is anticipated next year.
Previously, Vice Chairman Chung also attracted subscribers' attention by first revealing a photo of himself shopping with a cart at an E-Mart store without disclosing the store name. Initially, the prevailing speculation was that it was the recently renovated E-Mart Wolgye branch, but the actual revealed answer was E-Mart Gangneung branch.
Following his visits to Lotte Signiel Busan and Hyundai Department Store Pangyo last month, Vice Chairman Chung also visited E-Mart Gangneung branch, demonstrating his on-site management approach by inspecting business sites regardless of whether they belong to his own or other companies.
