After the sun sinks behind the horizon and the sky darkens into night, you'd expect people to go home to rest after a long day, nestling into their beds early, right? After all, most towns, after a certain hour, become a ghost town...and even Seoul does grow quiet and more expansive as the night grows deeper, but it's never truly asleep. There is always something going on, whether it's a lone vendor's stone cauldron steaming resolutely into the evening or a gaggle of youth's seated in plastic chairs in front of a convenience store giggling. Gwangjang market is a fairly big place with a lot of people working inside its confines, and when they shut up shop for the night they often don't go very far before finding somewhere to have a meal and some soju as they unwind before heading home. As such, there is almost always at least a couple restaurants and vendors cooking away late into the evening. Whether they keep going past last train I can not confirm, as I never stayed out past that fated witching hour myself. Not this trip, anyhow.
If you're hungry, which you'll likely be after walking through billowing plumes of olfactory assault, from dumplings to soups, hot vegetable pancakes and all sorts of other goodies bubbling away, you'll be able to get a solid meal (or three) here. Follow the crowds to find the best spots!
