Along the embankment road of Gokseongcheon, shaded by cherry blossom trees, visitors can find various handmade crafts, food, and processed agricultural and marine products. The approximately 300-meter embankment where the market is held serves as a nurturing ground for startup incubation, with an average of over 60 seller teams participating each time.

Design items reflecting the unique sensibilities of creators, handmade yogurt made directly on farms, and healthy local agricultural products grown by the sellers are highly popular.

In 2024, under the slogan ‘Ttukbang Market Takes Flight,’ various events are being prepared for the first half of the year with themes such as New Spring, A Month Good for Loving, With Family, and Making Memories.

A Gokseong-gun official said, “At Gokseongcheon, where new buds sprout on branches and fresh green shoots peek out one by one, you can feel the beginning of the new spring. We hope you welcome a happy spring under the yellow shade that wraps around the market street, which has become a symbol of the Gokseong Ttukbang Market.”

The Ttukbang Market will be held every Saturday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. starting on the 9th at Cheonbyeon, Gokseong-eup, Gokseong-gun (832-29 Eumnae-ri).
