Gwangjang Market: Secrets, Snacks, and the Shady Side of Seoul’s Most Famous Market
Gwangjang Market is a street food paradise… but what’s lurking behind the bindaetteok stalls and mayak gimbap counters? In this episode, we dig into the tangled history of Korea’s oldest covered market—from its rebellious beginnings and refugee-fueled food scene to whispered stories of political gangsters, sky-high stall rents, and tourist price traps. Whether you’re here for crispy pancakes or hidden power plays, this tour of Gwangjang’s back alleys might just change the way you see Seoul’s most beloved market.
