- Origin:Jeongju-eup
was one of the biggest cities in the country in the 1950's, but
had always had only one market, which opened in the 1920's. Clearly,
there was a need to increase the size of marketplace, and thus the
present fenced marketplace was created in 1958. People refer to
Jeongeup Market 1 as the old market, and Jeongeup Market 2, the
new market.
- Characteristics:
This market offers traditional Korean peasant food, including Korean
haggis, maggeoli (opaque rice wine), dongongju (clear rice wine),
and rice cakes, etc at low prices. All kinds of foodstuff, including
fish and vegetables, are also traded here.
- Transport: The

and/or express buses to metropolitan areas, including Seoul, Busan,
Daegu, Gwangju, Incheon, Bucheon, Anyang, Jeonju, and Gangweon operate
from here. Most local buses that operate in Jeongeup stop at the
terminal.
