About Gwangjang market
During the Joseon Dynasty, the three major markets of Seoul were Sijeon, Chilpae Market, which was located in the Seosomun area, and Baeogae Market, which was located in the pears of Heunginjimun Gate. The Chilpae Market and Baeogae Market, in line with the development of commerce in the 18th century, were largely activated as private markets in conjunction with the Nuwon Branch and Songpa Market around Hanyang. In addition to the opening of the port, Chinese and Japanese merchants quickly seized control of Seoul's commercial districts, and after the Sino-Japanese War, Japanese merchants dominated the market in Seoul. To counter this, the Gwangjang Corporation was established in 1905 when Koreans raised capital from where Baeogae Market used to be. Since then, the Plaza Corporation, operated by a Dongdaemun Market is Seoul Namdaemun Market in Japanese occupation with quickly established himself as the leader of the market. Since the Korean War, Dongdaemun Market has grown its market with relief supplies and U.S. military supplies. As Dongdaemun Market grew in the early 1960s, the market was divided and changed to the current form of Gwangjang Market. Gwangjang Market was activated around paroxysm, relief goods, and food items, and in 2010, it was renamed Jongno Square Market.
As such, Gwangjang Market is an old market with over 100 years of history that was built in 1905 and continues to date and is still loved by Koreans.
The term "Gwangjang Market" derives from the Gwangjang Corporation, which was established at the end of the Korean War. The name of the Gwangjang Corporation is related to the bridge that used to be in Cheonggyecheon. Cheonggyecheon Stream had several bridges, named Gwangjang Co., Ltd. after the initials of the bridge, meaning the company was between Gwanggyo and the officers. That's where the word Gwangjang Market comes from.
