Why prices sit where they do
Seoul is an interconnection market rather than a construction market, and the catalog shows it plainly: the 4 facilities we track inside the metro hold 12 MW between them against 288 MW nationally, and none of them has anything in pipeline. New Korean supply is going to Incheon, Paju and Pohang, where land and grid connections still exist; what stays in the city is carrier-adjacent space sold by the rack at scarcity pricing. Digital Realty, Equinix, KT Cloud and LG Uplus all hold positions here, which keeps quotes comparable, but the binding constraint is inventory rather than competition. Tokyo is 29 ms away, close enough that Seoul and Tokyo run as an active-active pair rather than a warm standby, and Korean enterprise architectures assume it. The practical split is the one Singapore buyers already make: keep the network-facing tier in the metro and put anything that grows by the megawatt outside it.
