Seoul Metropolitan Government has reopened the popular K-Food Festival Nok-Nok on June 22 at Sejong-ro Park next to Gwanghwamun Square.
The market will run every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. until December 31.
Now in its second year, Nok-Nok returns with expanded offerings, including 25 rotating food truck teams (up from 15 last year), a wider menu featuring 14 K-food categories such as bulgogi bánh mì and puffed rice ice cream, and a family-friendly layout with designated zones like a kids’ area and photo spots featuring the Seoul city character “Haechi.”
Last year, the market drew 450,000 visitors and nearly 1.74 billion won in sales over 145 operating days. In addition to more diverse food options, all meals continue to be served in reusable containers to support sustainability.
Live brass band performances marked the reopening, and visitors can enjoy night market lights, cultural performances, and multi-language kiosks to enhance accessibility for international tourists.
For updated schedules and weather-related closures, visitors are encouraged to check the official site (knock-knock.kr) or Instagram (@knockknock_festival). Gwanghwamun is easily accessible via Gyeongbokgung Station (Line 3) and Gwanghwamun Station (Line 5), both within a five-minute walk.
