Gwangju Daein Market first opened as a public market on May, 1959. Visitors and vendors decreased as the nearby station and terminal relocated as a course of urban planning. The market began bustling with people once more when artists began what is called a "bokdeokbang (real estate agency) project" in 2008. Empty stores became artists' workshops and offices, and the market's atmosphere went through a change as well. Night market opens on Fridays and Saturdays of the second and fourth week and offers a variety of integrated programs. Gwangju Daein Market has been recognized as a cultural tourism market since 2013.
