About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, as a delivery driver unloaded groceries into Gangnam Market’s backroom, he swore he heard faint laughter echoing through the empty aisles. Curious, he peered around corners and down darkened corridors, but found nothing out of place. Finally, he noticed an old shopping bag half-hidden behind some boxes. Inside was a note scribbled in Korean: 'Don’t worry, it’s just our friendly ghost helping us restock.' Turns out, the market had been employing a neighborhood spirit for years to ensure everything was always stocked perfectly.

2. Early in the morning, before anyone else had woken up, a delivery driver was unloading crates of bananas into Gangnam Market’s dimly lit storage room when he noticed something peculiar. As he picked one up, he saw that each banana had a tiny label reading ‘World’s Best Banana’. Smiling, he thought it must be some prank from the supplier. Later that day, a regular customer asked if they sold those special bananas. The manager shrugged and said, ‘Only ones with stickers saying so.’

3. In the early hours of dawn, when the streets were quiet and sleepy, a delivery driver approached Gangnam Market with a truck full of fresh produce. As he unlocked the door, he heard a voice whispering from inside: ‘Hey, where are you taking all that fruit?’ Curious, the driver switched on the light. Standing there was just an old dusty mannequin wearing an apron, waving a basket of apples. With a laugh, he shook his head and muttered, 'Guess I’ll just keep these for myself.' The next morning, everyone in the neighborhood found free apples outside the market.

4. In the depths of night, a delivery driver stocked shelves at Gangnam Market when he stumbled upon something peculiar—a bag of flour that seemed to move on its own. Curious, he reached in and felt a soft, warm lump inside. Turns out it was just a stray cat who had snuck into the store for some late-night snacks. The delivery driver laughed, picked up both the cat and the flour, and carried them home to his neighbor, who promptly named her Flourina.
