Closure boundaryCore market: first and third Sundays · night market: Monday–Thursday
A restaurant or independent shop can keep a different holiday.
No. The current guide lists the first and third Sundays as core-market closures, while individual shops and the night market follow their own schedules.
Does the night market start when the daytime market closes?
Only on its announced Friday–Sunday evenings. It is a separate programme and does not mean every daytime shop remains open.
Does the market photograph show the night market?
No. It shows a real daytime craft and household-goods lane; night vendors and food stalls require a separate current programme check.
Are the operating details for Seomun Market live?
The displayed guidance was checked September 9, 2026, but it is not a live operator feed. Open the linked official guide and a Korean map again on the day because hours, closures, tickets and transport can change.
Can a traveller correct this page?
Yes. Submit a sourced community wiki correction or a current field report; proposed facts are reviewed before becoming canonical information.
