Guests have been evacuated from one of South Korea's tallest buildings, the Jeju Dream Tower, after a huge fire broke out.
Dense smoke could be seen billowing from the skyscraper after local reports that a fire broke out at 2.57pm local time on March 14.
The 38-storey luxury resort is the tallest building on Jeju island and boasts 1,600 hotel rooms, 14 restaurants and a casino.
Black smoke was seen all over Jeju City, and calls to local emergency services were reported to have "run rampant" according to South Korean site, Headline Jeju.
Shocking clips uploaded to Youtube showed the moment huge black clouds billowed from the tower across the afternoon skies, as people watched on from the ground in horror.
Fire crews were scrambled to tackle the blaze, which allegedly broke out on the roof, while other emergency workers helped evacuate guests and staff.
Headline Jeju later reported that the fire had been extinguished in just "20 minutes" adding "fortunately there were not many guests since the fire occurred before check-in at the hotel".
The "ultra-luxury" resort is a twin tower complex in Nohyeong-dong, Jeju Cty.
The first tower opened in December 2020, followed by the casino which opened in June last year.
The second hotel tower, with a further 850 rooms, opened in November 2021.
