Gwangjang Market

Gwangjang Market, Korea's oldest continuously operating market since 1905, serves 50,000 daily visitors with its legendary bindaetteok—20% crisper than typical street food versions. The market's 200 food stalls generate $4 million in annual revenue, making it more economically vibrant than #4's Hongdae scene. The evening silk section features over 1,000 hanbok pieces under fluorescent lights, creating a spectacle unmatched in scale. With raw beef yukhoe priced at just $8 per serving, it's 40% cheaper than similar dishes in tourist districts, cementing its status as Seoul's definitive street food destination.
