Ask what Korea is talking about.

Lotte Shopping's Lotte Mall West Lake Hanoi has reached 1 trillion won ($720 million) in cumulative sales, setting a record for an overseas shopping complex operated by the Korean retail giant just three years after its launch, the Korea Times reports. The milestone comes as Lotte Group has been reorganizing non-core businesses, completing the sale of Lotte Rental to TPG and securing over 1.3 trillion won (about $1.0 billion) in funds, according to Business Korea. Korean media highlight the Hanoi mall's rapid growth as a bright spot for Lotte's overseas operations, though the company was also flagged by the Korea Exchange among 151 firms with persistently low valuations, the Korea Times reported.
