Start Here — Welcome to Five Day Market Korea! πŸ‡°πŸ‡·


Hello! You've Found Us! πŸ‘‹

Welcome to Five Day Market Korea — a blog written from a small countryside town in South Korea.

This is not your typical Korea blog.

No tourist guides. No K-pop news. Just real stories from a real Korean mill worker who lives and breathes traditional Korean life every single day.

Glad you're here. Let's get started!


πŸ—Ί️ Who We Are

I'm Heungjin (ν₯μ§„κΉŒλΉ„), a 3rd-generation traditional mill operator in rural South Korea.

Three things define this blog:

🌾 The Mill (λ°©μ•—κ°„)

Our family mill has been running for over 60 years. We make traditional Korean mill products by hand:

  • 듀기름 Perilla Oil
  • 참기름 Sesame Oil
  • 고좔가루 Red Pepper Powder
  • 참깨가루 Sesame Powder
  • λ–‘ Traditional Rice Cakes

πŸͺ The Five Day Market (였일μž₯)

Every five days, our town hosts a traditional Korean market — one of Korea's oldest and most beautiful traditions.

I'll take you there every market day, through my eyes.

🍜 The Noodle House (κ΅­μˆ˜μ§‘)

We're opening a traditional Korean noodle house right at the market entrance.

Coming soon! Stay tuned!
