ASEM Tower is an office building located in Samseong-dong, Gangnam district, Seoul. It was constructed for the 3rd Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM 3) in 2000.[2]

The 836-meter (914-yard) section of sidewalk along Yeongdong Boulevard from exit No.5 of Samseong Station on Seoul Subway Line 2, outside Convention & Exhibition Center and ASEM Tower is designated as a smoke-free zone by the Seoul Metropolitan Government.[3]

Thirty-one seconds into the "Gangnam Style" music video, the Tower is the location where PSY is doing his horse-riding dance.[4]
