Got a new one then eh? Lets see if I can find it.

I pulled my last (of 3) details in Korea in the mid-1976 and the "Main PX" in Seoul, or more specifically in Yongsang,, looked nothing like the one in this pix.  My WAG is that the PX depicted here was at a sub-installation in the vicinity of Seoul ca. 1970s or earlier.  Go fish.

This definitely appears to be the Yongsan PX with the mountain on the right being Namsan. 

 

There is a document online referencing the construction of a "new Yongsan Main PX" in 1970. There is also a website referencing a "large fire" at the PX in 1969. Perhaps they are connected. If thats the case, its likely the original building was torn down.

That's more like it.

Looks like the one we used when I was there in  1965-66

Can't believe it's been 40 years since my Korea assignment. I can't recall what the Yongsan PX looked like. I was right next door at Camp Coiner, but didn't go to the "big" PX too often.
