Tongin Market might seem like any other market, but there's something interesting hidden within. Haha, there's a dosirak cafe right inside the market.

The sight of delicious food brings back memories of my school days, chatting with friends while munching on snacks. Here, you can purchase traditional Korean coins, called 'yeopjeon,' and use them to acquire rice and side dishes to assemble your own lunchbox.

It's a Joseon-era-style activity I've never experienced. If you're hungry, how about trying a lunchbox from there? Just describing it is making my mouth water.
If you continue down the path of Tongin Market, you'll reach the main road, 'Jahamun-ro.' When you head right, you'll come across a sign indicating the birthplace of King Sejong. King Sejong, was the third son of King Taejong, born here in 1397 at the Junsubang.

So, that's why they named this area Sejong Village. Just a year after King Sejong was born, King Taejong moved to Gaeseong, following King Jeongjong. If King Sejong had been born just a little later, his hometown might have been Gaeseong.

Now, the place we're heading to is a small Giwajip called ‘I Sang's House.'
