One thing I hated about the Andong Kim Clan: Their daughters are littered throughout the palace! Can't even tell which Suk Won they're talking about!

Namdaemun Market  is the oldest and largest market in Korea. Namdaemun market dates back to 1414, during the reign of King Taejong, as a government managed marketplace. In 1608, King Seonjo set up the office of seonhyecheong (hangul: 선혜청, hanja: 宣惠廳, "tribute bureau") in the district to manage the tributes of rice, cloth and money. A trading marketplace took its form around that time and commercial activities flourished as traders set up various shops. Trade was active in grains, fish, fruit, and miscellaneous goods. 

The streets in which the market is located were built in a time when cars were not prevalent, so the market itself is not accessible by car. The main methods of transporting goods into and out of the market are by motorcycle and hand-drawn carts. Namdaemun is a popular tourist attraction and is on the Seoul list of Asia's 10 greatest street food cities for the hotteok.
