Bupyeong Kangtong Market is a market located at Jung-gu, Busan, and is one of the representative markets in Busan along with Gukje Market and Jagalchi Market. In the past, markets were held in the Bupyeong-dong area, but after the Ganghwa Island Treaty was signed in 1876, Japanese people began to live here and shop here, giving it the name 'Korean-Japanese Market'. Later, in 1915, it was designated as a public market by the Japanese and its name was changed to 'Bupyeongjeong Market'. After liberation, the name was changed to 'Bupyeong Market' and US military supplies began to be imported and sold here. In particular, a lot of US military canned food was sold, so it was called Bupyeong Can. It was given the nickname “market” and has been used to this day. This place is especially famous for its food, and among them, bibim glass noodles and tofu pocket casserole are the most famous.

There is a theory that the origin of the name of Jagalchi Market is that since it was a market located on a gravel field after the Korean War, the word cheo (處), which indicates a gravel field and place, was pronounced as chi in the Gyeongsang dialect and became Jagalchi.

he history of Busan International Market began with the trading of goods handed over by Japanese returning to Japan after liberation and goods brought by compatriots returning from overseas. At the time, it was called Dottegi Market, and in 1948, a building was built and given the name Jayu Market.
