Established in 1905, Gwangjang Market is Korea's first permanent marketplace with over a century of history. Once known for silk and textiles, it has grown into a bustling hub offering everything from hanbok fabrics to a famous food alley serving Korean street food favorites like bindaetteok and gimbap.
1905년 문을 연 한국 최초의 상설시장으로, 100년이 넘는 역사를 자랑합니다. 한복과 직물부터 다양한 먹거리까지 갖춘 종합시장으로 발전했으며, 특히 동문과 남문 사이에 자리한 먹거리 골목은 빈대떡과 마약김밥 등을 맛보려는 사람들로 늘 북적입니다.
