Jeonju Nambu Traditional Market opened as a regular public market in 1905 at the site of the Joseon-era Nammunbakk Market, located just outside the Southern gate to the city. Currently the market is comprised of about 800 stores with 1,200 workers selling vegetables, fruits, food, dried fish, furniture, silk goods, and general goods.

The market was revitalized with the creation of the Youth Market, located in the previously empty shops on the second floor of 6-dong. An influx of young shopkeepers and entrepreneurs has given the marketplace an exciting vibe like that found in Hongdae or Samcheong-dong.

The night market held on Fridays and Saturdays also draws in many visitors with a multitude of delicious treats, ranging from traditional dishes such as nokdujeon (mung bean pancake) to fusion treats like bibimbap served in rice paper like a spring roll.

Gaeksa, which was installed in every town during the Goryeo and Joseon periods, was a type of accommodation where foreign envoys or government officials from other regions stayed. Gaeksa can still be seen today in downtown Jeonju and there's a "Gaeksa-gil Street"  at the main street of the old city center. The street features countless roadside shops and franchise restaurants so both Jeonju locals and tourists frequently visit the area. Also, Jeonju Gaeksa-gil is where the Jeonju International Film Festival is held every year. Considered as one of the three main Korean film festivals, the Jeonju International Film Festival primarily presents independent films and has discovered many hit movies and new actors. On one side of Gaeksa-gil, you can also find Jeonju Cine Complex and several movie theaters, which is why it is called the "Film Street." In the back of the Film Street, restaurants, cafes and clothing shops attract movie fans to form so-called "Gaengnidan-gil."
