As a traditional market naturally formed during the Japanese colonial era, Yeongdo Bongnae Market boasted a large scale, but became smaller in size by being partially incorporated with the road after the establishment of Busandaegyo Bridge. The commercial district was further reduced when Namhang Market was formed on the other side. However, food companies such as Samjin Foods and Seongsil Foods, which boast a history and tradition of more than 50 years, maintain their positions within the marketplace and continue to be favored by the local community.
