Daein Market in Gwangju is a wonderful example of the changes traditional markets have gone through to remain relevant in the modern world. Originally the community center for all living needs, including produce and household goods, the market lost much interest in the mid-1990s with the influx of large marts. From that point on, many shops began to close down as there was no business.
However, the market saw a revival in 2008 during the Gwangju Biennale. Many of the available shop spaces were rented out to host small art exhibitions, creating a unique art market. Thanks to this effort, Daein Market was designated as a Cultural Attraction in 2013. The market continues to have a strong connection with the art that saved it, and the vendors and artists live and work together in harmony. The market also draws in a lot of interest from the community through their weekly night market, taking place every Saturday.

BTS mural and penguin bread
Since the 1970s and 1980s, 4 to 5 elderly people who lived in old villages started to decorate with scrap metal works, and it turned into a craft street and reached what it is today. There are two murals of j-Hope, whose hometown is Gwangju, and they are the only murals in the village that depict a specific person. It was produced with the support of Chinese fans in commemoration of his birthday in 2020. There is a mural near the village cooperative society cafe, so buying penguin bread at the cafe after viewing the mural is popular.
