eomun Market is Daegu’s largest Korean
traditional market. The fresh air market
features more than 4,000 retailers and is
renowned for its textiles and sewing services—
essential to Daegu’s thriving fashion industry.
“Seomun” means “west gate” (“seo” meaning “west”
and “mun” meaning “gate”). Its name refers to the
location of the market just outside the old west gate of
Daegu Castle, which stood tall until 1907.
It is one of the country’s oldest markets, dating to
the late Joseon Dynasty. In the final years of Joseon,
Seomun market was one of the country’s three largest
markets. The modern market evolved to its present
form in 1920.
Although portions of the market are in the open air
or small buildings, most of the shops are in large
buildings holding hundreds of individual shops. The
largest of these buildings was Building 2, which was
destroyed by fire in late Dec. 2005. Plans for the
reconstruction of Building 2, which held the majority
of the market’s fabric shops, are underway. There are
four other building complexes, and two other large
shopping areas.
Though shopping is the main attraction at Seomun
market, it is the people of Daegu that make the market
a great place to visit.
