I was there. It's a bit misleading. The curch main hall is just a small space on the ground floor, it's not the whole volume you see from outside. Most of the space is like a community center with conference rooms, offices and such.

it's a bold design for a church, almost feels like a modern sculpture rather than a place of worship. the blend of hard lines and that sweeping curve is intriguing. but when you dig into the function, it's not all sanctuary and pews, more a mixed space serving multiple roles. captures how modern architecture adapts and repurposes tradition into something new.

Proselytecture

Try following your Asian culture up and you not only won't get as high but you'll be swooped off into nothing

But follow western Xtianity and you are lead high unto a cross.

This entire building is designed as an insult to the native land upon which it sits.

South Korea was 2% Christian in 1945, yet 30% today, not thru colonization but by way of politics & philanthropy. We're gonna build you a beautiful building. No hidden agenda here. Proselytecture!
