This project was initiated after County Governor Jeon Jinseon visited Singapore on an overseas study tour in 2024 and observed the iconic roof structure at Clarke Quay, which inspired the benchmarking of a similar structure at Yangpyeong Mulmalgeun Market. The project aims to improve the aging market environment and create a multi-purpose cultural and rest area that can be comfortably used by both residents and visitors, with completion targeted for the first half of next year.

A total of 1.9 billion won, including special grants, special adjustment grants, and county funds, will be invested in the construction. A large-scale roof structure with a maximum height of 15.3 meters and a total floor area of 1,048 square meters will be installed. ETFE film will be applied to the ceiling to maximize natural lighting while also enhancing aesthetics, reducing weight, and ensuring safety.

Once the roof structure is completed, Yangpyeong Mulmalgeun Market will be transformed from a traditional market into a complex space that combines culture, relaxation, and hands-on experiences. The creation of an all-weather space that can be used regardless of weather conditions such as heat waves, cold snaps, or rain is expected to significantly improve the business environment for vendors and increase the length of stay for visitors, thereby having a positive impact on revitalizing the local economy.

County Governor Jeon Jinseon stated, "The rest area roof structure is more than just a facility; it will serve as a pivotal turning point that enhances the competitiveness of Yangpyeong Mulmalgeun Market. Once a space is created that offers comfortable rest, opportunities for socializing, and a variety of attractions, the vibrancy of the entire market will increase significantly."

He further emphasized, "We will continue to pursue policies to revitalize the commercial district that both residents and merchants can truly feel."
