Korea Tourism Organization (KTO) recently published a list of traditional markets in Korea which are notable in services offered to foreign visitors and offer touristic attractions relating to Korean culture.

Interestingly, the majority of the markets selected for this term are not in Seoul or major metropolitan cities but located more in suburban areas. After careful evaluation, KTO chose 16 out of the 35 recommendations received from local governments.

One particular item among the list is Gukje Market, which is located in Korea’s second largest city, Busan, and is well-known as a filming site of the popular TV show Running Man. The list introduces plenty of other markets worth a visit, including Chuncheon Romantic Market, Sinpo International Market, Suwon Paldalmun Market, Sokcho Fish Market, Wonju Jungang Market, Cheongju Yukgeori Market, Daejeon Jungang Market, Gwangju Daein Art Market, Jeonju Nambu Traditional Market, Daegu Seomun Market, Andong Jungang New Market, Bupyeong (Kkangtong) Market, Gyeongju Jungang Market, Seogwipo Olle Market (Formerly Seogwipo Maeil Market), and Jeju Dongmun Traditional Market.
