Dongmyo Flea Market is a market with a deep history rooted in a women's market formed to help Queen Jeongsun, the wife of Danjong of Joseon during the Joseon era. From the 1980s, it developed into a secondhand general market, and with the Cheonggyecheon restoration project in the 2000s, merchants from Hwanghak-dong gathered, making it a massive vintage market representing Seoul. Along the stone walls of Dongmyo (Donggwanwangmyo), a shrine dedicated to Guan Yu, you can enjoy shopping like a treasure hunt amidst mountains of piled-up goods such as clothes, shoes, watches, electronics, and antiques.
Through television broadcasts, it has also come into the spotlight as a mecca for vintage shopping among young people and foreign tourists.
