Bupyeong (Kkangtong) Market is also called Cans Market. The latter name is very interesting and was named so due to the U.S. troops stationed in Busan that were smuggling all kinds of goods here, among the items, fruits, seafood and other canned products. Therefor it earned the nickname-Cans Market. Additionally, because this market was used as the main national import market for foreign goods at that time, it was also known as the universal market. Because of the huge size of the market, all foreign goods can be found here, it is also known as the international market. Although many commodities have been imported with proper government's import licensing, the size of the market has been shrinking, but it is still a famous scenic spot where visitors can feel the reputation and heritage of the market. Now the merchants in the market are mainly selling wine, clothing, seasonal commodities, mini recorders and other imported goods.

The night market is set up in Arcade 2 of the Market and the corridor nearby. Business Hours are from 19:30 to 24:00.

At the entrance of Cans Market and at the crossroad in the market, there will be magic or other forms of performance every day, the LED lighting next to the market is gorgeous and extraordinary.
