Namdaemun market 5-7am is a different universe

Timing: vendors setting up, eating breakfast, actually willing to negotiate

why it works: 30-40% cheaper than afternoon tourist prices. Same jacket that's 40k at noon was 25k at 6am

breakfast bonus: kimbap for 2k, fish cake soup around 4k. Feels like a neighborhood spot instead of tourist central. Vendors have time to chat instead of rushing through sales.
