research project

I want to find out whether it's free to walk up the steps of the Lotte World Tower (123 floors and over 1900 steps) to reach the observation level.  If you take the elevator, you have to pay over W20,000 for the privilege of seeing Seoul from the high deck.  But if you take the stairs... is it free?  I'll report back when I've found something out.

    They have an annual running race up the tower...

    Yes—the Sky Run or something like that. You have to pay a fee to enter the marathon, but I'm wondering about non-marathon days. At a guess, you have to pay a fee even to use the stairs because, once you reach the observation levels (which occupy several floors), there are shops and restaurants, so I'm sure the building's management wants you to pay for the privilege of being up that high, no matter whether you used the elevator or the stairs to get up there.
