If they want to experience a genuine local night out, I'd suggest trying a visit to Bupyeong Kkangtong Market, which opens up a night market offering a lot to see and enjoy, and where, as you walk around, the smells of the food will tantalize your senses, making you hungry. Then, if you choose something that looks delicious and buy it, you'll be able to have a delightful experience. However, it might get crowded due to many people. It's well worth a visit for anyone who wants to experience the traditional markets of that country while traveling abroad, immersing themselves in authentic local culture and flavors.

This was a faintly busy night market on a warm June evening. All the cooking that was going on all around us further added to the heat load. It was nice that the street was enclosed to protect the food stalls and vendors from the rain but I wonder if the enclosed roof keeps some of the heat inside.
We tried a number of different items from various food stalls but the following stood out:
A vegetarian noodle dish with a drizzle of some brown sauce came from a friendly Filipina whose noodle stand was right in the middle of the street. It was a little oily but flavorful.
Fish cakes from Gamasot came as plain or four cheese filled ones on their own bamboo sticks. They were placed in a cup and a ladle full of broth (used to cook the fish cakes) was poured inside. The fish cakes were chewy but the broth was richer than we expected. A side of dukboki (made of rice) was slightly spicy and chewy. This seemed to be the only food stall with seats inside, a definite plus, to get out of the street and rest for a short while. We bussed our own trash after we finished eating.
Overall a very good, but tight and hot night market.

Location: 48, Bupyeong 1-gil, Jung-gu, Busan
Accessibility: You may take a taxi (the most convenient) or a local bus
Bus No: 8, 11 , 96 , 103 , 113 , 126
Kkangtong Market is just a stone's throw away from Gukje Market.
A visit to both Gukje market and Kkangtong Market is a good itinerary combo when in Busan.
During the Korean War, imported goods (especially US canned goods) are supplied in the Kkangtong Market thus getting a funny name (tin can market). There are lots to see such as food, clothes, foreign products, accessories, fashion items, electronic goods, jackets, etc.!
Your eyes and stomach will definitely thank you when you visit this market.

Very crowded in the evening and there are lots of foods stalls.
It's a good place to try various street foods.
But, they aren't affordable. Buying 2~3 kinds of street foods will be more expensive than eating at a restaurant.

There are so many things to eat at this market. I recommend Fish cake since Busan is known for it. It's perfect for a cold winter day, sipping warm soup and eating soft fluffy fish cake. There are also many restaurant around there area, if you want crave something they will have it.

It's awesome with street food lover. There are so many stalls where ou can find street food not only korean food but also of so many countries here such as vietnamese foods, turkey sandwiches, chinese foods or japanese foods. And out side of Bupyeong market, you will see so many restaurents and also many stalls that serve both soju and seafood in korean way. I just got lost here last weekend. It was so much fun with friends and I was so full LOL. Don't forget visit that night market.
Oups! Bupyeong Kkangtong night market open at night till 24 o'clock.
One more thing, Don't forget bring cash ;)

The market opens at 7:30pm till midnight. So for over 4 hours, the market is filled with people eating street foods from all over the world. So many choices, all delicious, from savory to sweet. During my trip to Busan, we tried at least 2 different snacks every night.
