Until now, Apple collaborated with authorised service providers in Korea to offer services to its customers, reported koreaherald.com.
The new store intends to provide an enhanced customer service by resolving complaints related to Apple’s technical support.
Apple Korea said: "We’re now hiring the team that will offer our customers in Seoul the service, education and entertainment that is loved by Apple customers around the world.”
Designed by UK-based architectural firm Foster and Partners and managed by DPJ & Partners Korea, the new building will include two basement floors and two aboveground floors.
Foster and Partners was also involved with the construction of the Apple Campus 2 in California, US.
Construction of the new store is expected to be complete by the end of November.
