- No trip to Seoul, South Korea is complete until you visit and eat street food at one of its many popular markets. It is a MUST DO before you leave this amazing city & country.
There are multiple markets worth visiting and Gwangjang Market is arguably the most popular ever since it was showcased on Netflix Soul Food and other popular YTubers like Mark Wiens came here many years ago. It's been many years now since the hype so you may be wondering if it is still worth the visiting?
In this video, follow me as I wander and tour this very popular tourist destination and sample many of the amazing street foods it has to offer.

Thank you for subscribing and liking! Hope to see you again on the next video :)
Great video Jeff! Love the night market scene in Asia! :) Did you ever try the live octopus?
That and the Beef Tartare were the 2 things I didn’t get to try due to time. I was bummed for sure! Definitely will next time or if you go first, let me know how it is! 😎
Hey Jeff! Great video, just curious which mic do you use for your audio?
Thanks for watching and the kind words! I use this for my wireless microphone. Hope this helps!

I just discovered your channel searching for Seoul videos. Great content and editing! Subscribed. What do you use for filming? Gimbal?
Thanks for subbing and hope some of my Seoul focused videos were useful. I have a comprehensive Seoul guide I put together that ties them all together.
For my latest vlogging setup, yes, I just use my iPhone 15 Pro Max + DJI Mic + Wide Angle Lens on a gimbal. It’s a pretty simple setup but gets the job done for now.
@@fomoyolotravel, I’ve been watching your videos. Also the ones in the Bay Area. If you get a chance, Moo Bing Ri in Oakland is on par if not better than Daeho. The short ribs are so good!
Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll look them up and check it out
The long lines in Asia no longer holds. I was in Osaka last week. The famed places promoted by RUclipsr’s had very long lines. They were so bad, I’ve got enough material to make a video myself.
Awesome! You should totally do it and share your latest experience
There are other markets in Seoul for same street foods.
Nice!
Plenty of videos from locals telling people to stay away from this tourist trap. This is why you should be skeptical of any recommendations from another tourist. 😂
Some people will only want to do what the locals say. Some people will only want to do pure touristy stuff because they are, after all, tourists. One travel plan that is suitable for one person may not be suitable for another. There is no right or wrong plan. If you don’t like my message or video, move on.
I commented to let other viewers know that it’s a tourist trap which you failed to mention. Of course, some people might still prefer to visit a tourist trap but it’s important to not hide such information. For some people, it’s expensive to travel and the last thing they need is being misled by someone’s advice. Typical problems with tourist trap: you get scammed, poor quality, expensive, etc.
@@gopher4life1 so you're are making a statement that it is a "tourist trap" but that's purely your opinion. You're also implying in your original comment that only locals know best and to be skeptical of any non-locals opinions. You're entitled to that opinion as well.
I didn't experience any of the "typical problems" you mentioned during my visit, doesn't mean it doesn't happen though but I go off of my personal experience.
If you also think I failed to mention anything or hiding information intentionally, I 100% disagree but you're also entitled to your opinion. I do know throughout the video comments are made about the crowds of tourists, long lines, and even close the video with a statement that for me, I think it's still worth visiting. If that's not enough for you and you think people can't make their own decision on whether it's worth visiting to them or not, it is what it is...
Thanks for watching til the end, if you did.
Went to Seoul last year and hit up all the night markets. The food were all disappointing
Oh wow that’s unfortunate. You went to all 10+ in the city?
@@fomoyolotravel Sorry, I should have specified. I went to all the major ones such as Myeongdong, Gwangjang, Dongdaemun and Mangwon
I'm heading to Taipei next month and have been watching your videos. Keep up the good work!
@@stan5455 for a moment I was like what a lucky guy if you went to all of them! Thanks for the support and I hope you have a better experience with the street food in Taiwan. I personally enjoy Taiwanese street food more
Gwangjang Market is going downhill quickly. Prices are too high and quality is going down. It is way too crowded on the weekends. Also some of the ajuma are so rude. I do not recommend it at all anymore. Some food items are double the price of other markets.
Where do you recommend?
@@fomoyolotravel Gwangmyeong Market
Thanks for sharing!

모두!
mangwonsijang 망원시장도 괜찮습니다. 광장시장은 가지마세요.
@@Sundial0425 I did visit Mang Won market as well during my 12 day stay in Seoul. Although I didn’t capture as much content as I would have liked for a dedicated video, I do plan to touch on it in my next upcoming video. Thanks for the comment and sharing
I AM A KOREAN. YOU'D BETTER VISIT ANOTHER MARKET. THIS MARKET IS TERRIBLE! I AM SURE THAT YOU WILL REGRET IF YOU GO THERE! THOSE ARE RIP OFF! 😂😂
I APOLIZE ON BEHALF OF ALL THE CRAPPY MERCHANTS OUT THERE...
Perhaps you can suggest to viewers reading your comment another place for people to check out rather than leaving the statement so bold and incomplete? That would be helpful
@@fomoyolotravel OK. I recommend "KYUNGDONG MARKET"
GJ market is notoriously for expensive and unkindness in locals. Visit others.
im korean. do not go ;gwanajang Market. they will rip off you guys. there are tons of alternative places in Kor.
I respect that comment but if you don’t mind, please share some alternatives so that viewers reading this comment get some additional info out of it. I believe Mangwon is a great place to go (at least for me it was)
Nope, Not at all. Not any more.
What market is top on your list?
Which one is? I’m in Seoul as a tourist now.
You got nj. #feige666 still want. What is he asking from #johnny.chang ? #pleasebee milk noodle
Thank you for sharing. I am so hungry now 🤣
Mission accomplished!
