"N Sedae" ("New Generation") Flea Market

There is now a flea market in Seoul like one might find in Paris, Shinjuku or Yoyoki Park in Japan, or London's Nothing Hill. 'N Generation Flea Market' is located next to the National Medical Centre in Dongdaemun. N Generation Flea Market is ranked by visitors as being in the top 7 sightseeing places in Seoul, and attracts not only Korean youth but also tourists.
N Generation Flea Market is also close to Migliore, Doosan Tower and Freya Town, 'the shopping Mecca' of the youths. Only young people from 16- 23 years of age can have a stand there. Therefore, most of the sellers are junior high school or high school students. There is no age limit for buyers and window-shoppers though. You can buy your favourite items at a reasonable price from a young student.

N Generation Flea Market deals in a variety of goods, mainly clothing such as skirts and jeans, but there are also other items such as shoes, bags, CDs, cosmetics, dolls, tapes, novels, comics, etc....   even celebrities' autographs. There are also some second-hand goods such as crayons, single earrings etc. for 200won. You can also find some accessories and cards hand-made and designed by the sellers themselves. Most clothing sells at approximately 5,000 wons.

N Generation Flea Market is the place to learn more about Korean culture and youths' trends. N Generation Market means a lot to the new generation in many ways because they can learn about the value of money, how it flows and what is the best way to spend it.   Once teenagers have been acting as sellers five times in a row,   they are given the opportunity to visit Japanese flea markets. N Generation Flea Market holds many contests as well. Most of all, during your visit to Korea you can meet young people trying to live thriftily.
