is that flea market inside the old football stadium / car park now?

I went there on Wednesday and almost the whole thing had finished for the day, the stuff that was left was a bit of second hand stuff and the usual knock-off clothes.

Any idea of opening hours?

walk straight from exit 6 of Dongmyo station until you get to Cheonggyecheon... cross the street and you'll find one-story buildings on your left... scour that area and you'll find a couple of antiques stores within...

Dongdaemun exit six. Walk the direction you just came (humping up the subway stairs to the surface). Left and beside the stream. You'll be passing, at first, pet stores. First big street cross it.

You're still going the same direction (alongside the stream) and you'll come to some streetmarket (goods laid out). If you go left, follwing the fleamarket you'll be looking at various goods but mostly clothes and bedlinen.

Supposing you didn't do that left. And you're still along the stream. Keep going. Cross the next big street. You'll be at laid out goods now, fleamarket. Go left follwing the laid out goods on display. A road with goods on display on the road goes into the interior of this block. It goes a long way, goods along either side, and to a t-junction with goods to either side.

Sunday is the big day. The venders have jobs so most of them are out on Sunday with their goods (their day off).
