It is very quiet because of the COVID-19 situation.

Market occupied by Chinese

The streets are messy and the Korean food culture and ingredients are formed differently with Chinese restaurant food, creating an unpleasant market.

A place where a lot of Chinese live! Fights often occur in the evening

A traditional market in Garibong-dong, Guro-gu, Seoul. Garibong Market was established in 1976 as a place frequented by Guro Industrial Complex weavers in the 1970s and 1980s. According to the ‘Garibong Balanced Development Promotion District Development Project’, which redeveloped the Garibong Market area in 2010, the Seoul Digital Industrial Complex and hotels were built on 280,000 square meters of land around 125 Garibong-dong, Guro-gu, Seoul. As a result, the market reconstruction project became unclear, and merchants, led by the Garibong Market Association, directly raised money to implement the environmental improvement project. According to Article 2, No. 1 of the 「Special Act for the Promotion of Traditional Markets and Shopping Streets」, traditional markets perform the same functions as those registered as large-scale stores, that is, registered markets, according to Article 8 of the 「Distribution Industry Development Act」. It refers to a place that does not meet the requirements for a large-scale store under Article 2, Paragraph 3 of the Distribution Industry Development Act. It is a place that needs repair, repair, or maintenance because commercial infrastructure is outdated, or where it is necessary to improve management and promote the modernization of commerce because the distribution function is weak. The total area is 6,361㎡. As of 2010, Garibong Market is not functioning properly as a market, and according to the Garibong Balanced Development Promotion District development project, in 2012, conventions and hotels are planned to be built. In the vicinity of Garibong Market, a new Korean-Chinese town has been formed due to the increase of shops with Chinese signs due to Korean-Chinese compatriots who migrated to Garibong-dong, Guro-gu in search of work.
