▲ Everything but nothing! Jinju Central Market! Jinju Central Market, located in downtown Jinju, opened in 1884. The central market is a commercial hub where agricultural products from the western part of Gyeongnam and seafood from the southern coast are traded, and it has been called 'Central Market' since liberation in 1945, and it still remains to this day. There are currently 1,007 stores, and the daily floating population is 20,000-30,000 people. 'Documentary 3 Days' captured the scenery of Jinju Central Market, where everything but nothing is available, from hanbok based on Jinju silk to food. ▲ Another fun thing about Jinju Central Market, the lightning market that opens at dawn A special market opens at Jinju Market every dawn. The dawn market, also known as the 'lightning market'. At Jinju Central Market, street vendors come out to the streets every morning from 2:00 AM to prepare for business. The dawn market is only open in the morning, from 4:00 AM to 9:30 AM. The diligence of grandmothers who bring out fresh spring greens and vegetables and merchants selling fish and fruits is waking up the market in the morning. ▲ Contrast between tradition and modernity, 2nd floor of the Central Market shopping mall If you go up to the 2nd floor of the Central Market shopping mall, you can see a space where time seems to have stopped. On the 2nd floor of the shopping mall, there are teahouses, barbershops, tailor shops, and hanbok shops that remind you of the 70s. You can no longer see the old appearance of bustling customers, but hanbok artisans and clothing repair technicians with over 50 years of experience are still there. In another alley between the old stores on the 2nd floor, there is 'Youth Attic' where young people who have just started a business gather. 'Youth Attic' is a place where young people do business in empty stores in the traditional market thanks to the youth entrepreneurship support project. It is contributing to the revitalization of the traditional market as relatively young customers visit. The 2nd 'Youth Mall' is scheduled to expand and open within this year. ▲ 7th Battle, 8th Season, Market People Meet by 'Documentary 3 Days' There are people who have made Jinju Central Market the starting point of a new life. A mother and daughter who failed in business seven times and ended up selling chicken skewers after much thought, a merchant who ran a large Korean restaurant but went bankrupt and came to the dawn market to sell seonjitguk, a merchant who put all his savings into business and sells corn squid at the market, calling himself a missionary of happiness. Jinju Central Market has become the foundation for their revival. The spring of Jinju Central Market continues because there are merchants who work hard in the market even today.
