“Oiso (Come), Boiso (See), and Saiso (Buy)!” is a famous phrase that represents Jagalchi Market. Along with the nearby Gukje Market and Bupyeong Kkangtong Market, the Jagalchi Market is Busan’s main traditional market.
rom the Japanese occupation, several fish street stalls were created in this area. Because of the Korean War, numerous refugees came to Busan, and many shanty houses were built around the area. As such, a number of fish street stalls were formed to become a large fish market, which is now the Jagalchi Market. You will find live fish and seafood, including big octopuses in basins and baskets of street vendors. Sometimes, they sell lobsters, white sharks, baby sharks, sunfish, large squids, and so on. This is the real side of Busan’s Jagalchi Market.

Busan's Bupyeong Market is also known as Kkangtong (tin can) Market. It earned that funny name when it had a variety of imported canned goods from the United States for the US forces stationed in Korea during the Korean War. It was also known as "Dottegi (bustling plea) Market." All foreign products found in the country at that time were supplied from this market. Due to its vast property and many rare goods that were hard to find anywhere else during the time, it was also referred as "Gukje Market" Some imported goods including liquor, clothes, ornaments, accessories, fashion items and electronic goods are still sold here.
