Nambu Night Market<br />
Chungnyun Mall<br />
Nambu Market completely surrounds Jeonju’s south<br />
gate and there are many entrances to it. It is very easy<br />
to find—just follow all the people. When I first walked<br />
inside the night market, it was as crowded as the<br />
New Year in New York or London. The alley is narrow<br />
and people move slowly in lines. A number of pocha<br />
(pojang macha), or food carts, are placed every two<br />
meters and attract people with the smell of roasting<br />
meat. Even with the crowds, the walkways are kept<br />
clean with trash cans placed beside every food cart.<br />
Beside the food carts, I saw traditional stores selling<br />
dried fish, farming tools, and iron cookware.<br />
Hours: Nambu Night Market (전주 남부 야시장) is<br />
open every Friday and Saturday from 7pm to 12am<br />
in the summer and from 6pm to 10pm in the winter.<br />
While I was hanging around, I found the Chungnyun<br />
Mall, located upstairs on the second floor above the<br />
market. There are many maps on the first floor that<br />
will show you where to find the mall. The map of<br />
the Nambu night market is drawn on the wall of the<br />
Chungnyun mall. As you can see, blue and dotted<br />
lines that are crossing the streets represent the<br />
pocha that I have mentioned earlier.<br />
The mall was very quiet as if I was in a whole<br />
different world. It is a commercial space created by<br />
young adults to actualize their dreams. The mall<br />
was part of a business operated by the government<br />
in 2011 until 2013, and afterwards Chungnyun<br />
mall was still run by young adults without any<br />
governmental financial support.<br />

SEULA KIM is a junior at Global Prodigy<br />
Academy in Jeonju. She is an animal lover who<br />
plans to take up architecture in the future.<br />
There are cafés, restaurants, handicraft workshops,<br />
bookstores, and game shops for people to take a break.<br />
Even though some people might find the price of food<br />
and goods expensive, it is still fun to look around at<br />
the workshops and food carts. The revival of Nambu<br />
market means a lot to wholesalers and even Jeonju<br />
citizens. What a nice way to spend a Hot Friday!<br />
