Cheongju Yukgeori Market is a famous traditional market in Cheongju where consumers can purchase agricultural produce directly grown and harvested in the countryside as well as various industrial products. An early morning market (so-called Dokkaebi Market) opens daily, and farmers sell agricultural products they have grown themselves. It first began during the Joseon Dynasty as Cheongju Market on the side of the Musimcheon Stream embankment and has been called Yukgeori Market since 1973. Today, around 4,000 merchants work at some 1,600 stores over a total area of over 1 million square meters. There are also 5-day markets that run on dates ending in 2 and 7. Recently, an arcade and a parking lot have been installed and, as a result, it was chosen as an outstanding traditional market in the country, thus serving as a model for merchants in other regions.
