Tongin Market
Line 3, Gyeongbokgung Exit 2. The one where participating stalls fill a lunchbox you pay for with tokens — the most self-explanatory of the four if nobody speaks English.
Place
Namdaemun Market
Line 4, Hoehyeon Exit 7. The largest of the four, with cutlassfish and kalguksu alleys near Sungnyemun.
Place
Mangwon Market
Line 6, Exit 2. Snacks to carry rather than a sit-down meal — Mangwon Hangang Park is a short walk away.
