Dongdaemun Market동대문시장

Seoul's oldest mega-market — fabric floors, mung-bean pancake alleys and wholesale energy around the clock. Moving grounded its most human backstory here, among stalls that have run for generations.

Editor's tips

  • Go hungry: the mung-bean pancake (bindaetteok) row doubles as lunch.
  • Wholesale floors wake up at night — daytime is calmer for browsing.
  • Pair with Gwangjang Market, one stop away, for a full market day.
