Mangwon Market

Mangwon Market is a small traditional market located in Mangwon-dong, Seoul.
In Seoul, there are small traditional markets in each region, of which Mangwon Market is popular with young people.

The reason why Mangwon Market has gained popularity among young people is that it has become a hot place from Hongdae Street to Hapjeong-dong and Mangwon-dong.
In particular, with the creation of a street called Mangridan-gil, young people began to visit, and these visitors began to visit Mangwon Market.

The characteristics of Mangwon Market

As the number of young people visiting Mangwon Market increased, the number of stores selling to young people increased.
It can be said that it is deviating from the appearance of a traditional market.

Nevertheless, the reason why Mangwon Market is popular is because it is close to Hangang Park (Mangwon Area).
Meet friends at a restaurant on Mangridan-gil, have lunch, drink coffee, and pack food at Mangwon Market before sunset.
And it became a course to go to the nearby Hangang Park, open a mat, and relax.

If you visit Hangang Park on a fine day, you can see a huge crowd.

Mangwon Market is

If you want to see traditional Korean markets, I recommend Gwangjang Market rather than Mangwon Market.
You can find more Korean food and the price is cheap.

However, if you visit Hongdae, it is recommended to stop by Mangwon Market to pack food and visit Hangang Park.
You can have a good time with beer.
