Eumseong Market | Market Guide | K-Travel Mate

Eumseong Market is a traditional market located in Ipnae 2-ri, Eumseong-eup, Eumseong-gun, Chungcheongbuk-do. The Munhwa-dong village is where Eumseong Market is held, called the ‘Jangteo’ (marketplace), and the market near Eumseonggyo is called ‘Chae-so-jeon’ (vegetable market). Eumseong-eup is the administrative and transportation center of the Eumseong area, and Eumseong Market has long served as the most influential distribution hub within Eumseong-gun. Since the Gamwon Station of the Joseon Dynasty was located in Ipnae-ri, Eumseong-eup, Eumseong Market naturally formed according to regional conditions. The market takes place in the market street, the center of Munhwa-dong, which is normally a road used for vehicle traffic, flanked by permanent shops. On market days, about 200 meters of the road are closed to vehicle traffic, allowing nearby rural residents to sell agricultural products directly and itinerant vendors to sell daily necessities, making the market street very lively. It is a place where you can see the bustling side of Eumseong and the warm charm of the countryside.
