Suncheon Utjang Market (순천 웃장)

Explanation

Suncheon Utjang is a familiar five-day-interval market in Suncheon that combines the convenience of a permanent market with the charm of a traditional one. Every five days starting from the 5th of each month, this market opens for business and bustles with local street vendors, creating a vibrant atmosphere. A notable highlight is the Suncheon Utjang Gukbap Alley, a food street designated as both a Namdo Food Street by Jeollanam-do and a Suncheon Specialty Food Zone. It’s renowned for its flavorful Gukbap (rice soup dishes). In particular, when ordering two or more servings, diners receive complimentary dishes such as boiled pork slices or blood sausage, depending on the type of Gukbap ordered, making the meal even more appetizing and filling. A favorite of all ages, Utjang Gukbap has become a signature comfort food of the five-day-interval market. In addition, visitors can enjoy a variety of fresh seasonal produce and regional delicacies that capture the unique spirit of Suncheon.

Suwon Nammun Market, the largest traditional market complex in Gyeonggi-do, refers collectively to a group of nine interconnected markets. These include Jidong Market, Paldalmun Market, Minari Square Market, Motgol Market, Yeongdong Market, Citizen Sangga Market, Nammun Fashion Street Market, Gucheon-dong Gongu (Tool) Market, and Nammun Rodeo Market. Its origins date back to the reign of King Jeongjo, when a permanent market was established along Jongno Street near the bell tower inside Hwaseong Fortress. At the same time, a five-day market was held outside Paldalmun Gate. Together, these early marketplaces are considered the foundation of present-day Suwon Nammun Market.
