List of markets in South Korea

Last updated

Major cities in South Korea typically have several traditional markets, each with vendors selling a wide variety of goods including fruit, vegetables, meat, fish, breads, clothing, textiles, handicrafts, souvenirs, and Korean traditional medicinal items. [1] The Korean word for market is sijang(Korean: 시장) and traditional street markets are called jaerae sijang(Korean: 재래시장) or jeontong sijang (Korean: 전통시장). The market space commonly includes permanent restaurants, pop-up restaurants and food stalls ( pojangmacha , Korean: 포장마차, lit. 'covered wagon') that sell traditional Korean cuisine and street food. [2] The Small Enterprise and Market Service (Korean: 소상공인시장진흥공단; previously the Agency for Traditional Market Administration) is responsible for improving the condition of the country's traditional markets with the goal of developing them into prominent tourist attractions.
