Ask what Korea is talking about.

Lotte Mall West Lake Hanoi has surpassed 1 trillion won ($720 million) in cumulative sales, 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 amid Lotte Group's broader restructuring, including the sale of Lotte Rental to TPG for over 1.3 trillion won and the sale of a Busan department store to Shinsegae, as it reorganizes non-core businesses. Korean business media highlight the Hanoi mall's rapid growth as a standout in Lotte's global expansion, with the company also holding large-scale campus recruiting events in Vietnam to secure talent for overseas operations.
