Tongin Market
Sejong Village was once a center where Joseon-era artists such as Chusa Kim Jeong-hui gathered, and in modern times it was also a hub where writers including Lee Sang were active. Originating as a public market built during the Japanese colonial period for Japanese residents, it developed into the kind of market where people buy and sell goods after the population increase following the Korean War.
