Seogwipo Maeil Olle Market (Korean: 서귀포매일올레시장) is a large traditional market in Seogwi-dong, Seogwipo, Jeju Province, South Korea. It is the largest and oldest permanent market in Seogwipo,[1] and is considered a major tourist attraction and economic hub for the city.[1][2]
The market reportedly developed organically beginning in the 1960s.[3] The market once mainly sold agricultural and industrial products. However, as tourism to Jeju and Seogwipo increased, it began catering towards the tourists visiting the island.[1] Beginning in 2001, it began to be converted into a covered market.[3]
A 2022 report gave the total average sales per day for the market as ₩178.22 million.[2] The market began a modernization effort in 2023. ₩1.25 billion was inveested in various projects for the market.[4]
