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.[3][4]
