Source: DC Hub (dchub.cloud), facility records as of 2026-11-12. Verified sites that report MW only; blank means no MW reported. The "MW, all listings" tile above is a wider measure (every tracked site that reports MW, any status, unverified directory listings included), so it is larger than Total listed.

## Colocation lease rates in Seoul

DC Hub does not hold a lease-rate figure for this market yet.

The market is fragmented among four operators each running three facilities—LG Uplus Corp., KINX Inc., Equinix, and LG CNS—alongside Digital Edge with two tracked sites.

Operators pursuing expansion will encounter material friction on the power sourcing side.

Deal flow shows targeted rather than broad-based growth. This project, distinct from Digital Realty's completed second facility (first announced in 2021), indicates multiple operators are advancing Seoul-based development. LG's $910M commitment underscores confidence in market fundamentals, though the investment's specific allocation—whether toward new capacity, upgrades, or operations—remains unspecified.

Forward expansion in Seoul will depend on resolving grid-side friction rather than operator willingness to build.
