Jongno 5(o)ga Station

Gwangjang Market

Exit 7, 40m/1min

This more than 100 years old traditional market is a haven for vintage lovers. It carries imported vintage clothing, hanbok (traditional clothing), and much more. Interestingly, the market is more popular for its mayak gimbap (literally “drug gimbap” because they’re so good they’re addictive) and bindaetteok (mung bean pancakes). And recently, visitors are also trying yukhoe (beef tartare).
