About

Known as the center of fashion in the Republic of Korea, Dongdaemun Market started as a small traditional market in 1905 and has developed into a massive shopping town today. Modern shopping malls like Doota Mall and Migliore coexist with traditional wholesale markets like Seoul Peace Market, creating a unique atmosphere. You can purchase the latest trendy clothes, accessories, and fabrics at reasonable prices, and the night market scenery, which becomes even more vibrant at night, is a special attraction unique to this place.

Along with the nearby Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP), it is the best place to experience the dynamic night of Seoul.
