Is Gwangjang Market good for a first solo meal?
It is one of the easiest, because you eat standing at the stall. There is no table to be seated at and no minimum order, which are the two things that make solo dining awkward elsewhere. The format where eating alone is genuinely difficult is shared grilled meat, where the minimum is usually two portions. Cash is normal at market stalls — see Paying in Korea before you rely on a card.
