■ Another world hidden beneath Bupyeong Station, 'Incheon Bupyeong Underground Shopping Mall' Bupyeong Underground Shopping Mall stretches out like a spider web beneath Incheon Bupyeong Station, where Seoul Subway Line 1 and Incheon Subway Line 1 intersect. After opening as Sinbupyeong Underground Shopping Mall in 1978, four underground shopping malls were built in succession, taking on the appearance of a large-scale underground shopping mall. In 2014, it was certified as the world record for the 'world's largest number of stores per single area' with 1,408 stores in an area of ​​31,692㎡. With a daily floating population of approximately 100,000 people and 33 exits, this place is so large that first-time visitors may get lost, and is loved as a landmark of Incheon and a shopping space for local citizens and tourists. ■ An underground shopping paradise where diversity and individuality coexist With 1,408 stores, you can find as many products as there are clothing stores, accounting for about 80% of the total. The 2-pyeong-sized stores that have survived without being eliminated despite their similar appearances have established themselves as a shopping paradise for various customers who visit here at low prices. ■ Hidden efforts of merchants to create a safe underground shopping mall Considering the safety of large facilities vulnerable to fire, Bupyeong Underground Shopping Mall has installed 1,056 sprinklers, fire extinguishers, and fire barriers in various places to prepare for disasters. In addition, it has its own ventilation system to ensure a pleasant environment for underground facilities where many people pass by. The volunteer fire brigade consisting of 35 merchants also conducts regular disaster training and contributes to creating a safe underground shopping mall. ■ The ‘world they live in’ inside the underground shopping mall that cannot be seen unless you look closely Inside the underground shopping mall, you can also meet people doing unique things that are not easily noticed by the general public. The main characters are the people who deliver food and coffee to hundreds of merchants and the buyers who buy the merchants' goods on their behalf.
