"Mangwon Market’s a vibe. It’s tucked in the laidback residential neighbourhood of Mangwon-dong, & you’ll find all sorts of things here — from fresh fish & fruits to all your fave banchan (Korean side dishes). Super local feels with a bustling energy, especially on the weekends when it gets packe* with people picking up groceries or grabbing a bite. The street food’s top-notch, but the thing you gotta try is the croquette. There’s a famous stall here, & it’s always got a line for a reason – crispy, golden, & absolutely delish. Perfect spot if you’re into exploring local markets! ✨"
"A haven for foodies, brimming with hidden gems and unexpected culinary delights. Less touristy than the popular Gwangjang Market and more affordable. The most popular snack to get here is the deep-fried and braised chicken. Opening times:  10:00-21:00 (Varies by store) Fee Free Closest Subway Station:  Mangwon Station Exit 2"
