Streets of shops for all ages to enjoy
It is a premier traditional market in Busan with various shops on every corner. Visitors come to check out the particular store Kkotbunine, which is where the movie Ode to My Father was filmed. The market's history began with trading goods left behind by the Japanese after the liberation of Korea, and in 1950, it was named "Gukje Market" because it handled goods from the US military units. It is divided into six sections selling miscellaneous goods, kitchen utensils, home appliances, and machine tools, including the 609 Youth Mall, a space where passionate young people sell fun products, and Silbi Street, a place to enjoy a drink with a variety of snacks. Make sure to explore nearby Bupyeong Kkangtong Market and Jagalchi Market.
