                                Shopping in Seoul! 

                                                    Gwangjang Market 

Gwangjang Market is one of Korea's largest traditional markets and is renowned 

for its quality silk goods, linen bedding and hand-made goods.

These days, the vintage clothing arcade in the market has become a very popular 

attraction among young people and wholesalers searching 

for unique vintage fashion. 

Gwangjang Market has over 100 years of history. The origin of the market can be 

traced back to the establishment of the Gwangjang 

Corporation in 1905 which was created with the purpose of reclaiming Korean 

sovereignty during the period of Japanese occupation. 

At that time, traditional Korean markets were only temporary marketplaces that 

were periodically held every few days. Gwangjang Market was 

the first permanently established market that was open everyday. In 1962 the 

market was divided into Dongdaemun Market and Gwangjang 

Market and modern buildings were constructed.

                                dongdaemun market 

History

Dongdaemun Market opened in July 1905 in Yeji-dong (예지동 禮智洞), whose

name means "a neighborhood for learning politeness",

so the market was originally called Baeugaejang (배우개장, "market for learning").

The market was also called Gwangjang Market (광장시장) as a company of the

same name was set up as market management.


The market was set in a closed structure until the Korean War, when the market

was completely destroyed.

The market slowly rebuilt over the years, and in 1959 a building was constructed

and the market was revived.

In 1998 and 1999, large shopping malls such as Geopyeong Freya, Migliore, and

Doosan Tower were built in the district and the market was renovated with a

modern atmosphere among the traditional market.

Characteristic

Dongdaemun Market is located near Dongdaemun of which it takes its name.

The market is divided into five shopping districts—A, B, C, D and a shopping town,

with 26 shopping malls situated over 10 blocks, 30,000 speciality shops, and

50,000 manufacturers.

The market sells all types of goods but notably silks and fabric, clothes, shoes and

leather goods, sporting goods, plumbing and electronics,

office supplies, fortune tellers, toys and food areas specialising in Korean cuisine.

It also has many pet shops.

The Market is on the Seoul list of Asia's 10 greatest street food cities for the

Korean snack Sundae and mandu.

The market was traditionally a night market and wholesalers once operated from

1:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Now, the area is open for 18 ½ hours a day from 10:30 a.m.

to 5:00 a.m.,with some stores open 24 hours a day, although most stores close on

Mondays and holidays.

Malls

Section 1 - retail shops The main street divides Dongdaemun Market into two

sections. Section 1 is on the side where Doosan Tower is found, and Section 2 is

on the side of the

Dongdaemun Design Plaza & Park, the old site of Dongdaemun Stadium.

Huge shopping malls in Section 1 basically sell wholesale and retail goods, but

mostly deal with general customers and tourists at retail prices. Thus, they have

facilities like money exchanges and information desks with English speaking staff.

Opening hours are also aimed at general customers, opening from 10 am to 5 am

the next day. Major shopping malls are Doosan Tower, Migliore, Freya Town and

Hello a PM.

Section 2 - wholesale shops Shopping malls in Section 2 sell goods both in

wholesale and retail, but mainly sell in bulk.

Malls here usually open at about 8 pm and close at 8 am or 5 pm the next day.

The peak time comes late at night through early morning.

Since most shops deal with wholesalers, there are no dressing rooms.

Major shopping malls in Section 2 are Designer's Club, Migliore Valley, Nuzzon,

Gwanghee Fashion Mall, Jeil Pyeonghwa, and Heungin Stardom. Among them, Jeil

Pyeonghwa and Heungin Stardom attract customers in their thirties and forties.

Teens and youth in their twenties usually visit Designer's Club, Migliore Valley,

Nuzzon and Gwanghee Fashion Mall.
