Onion, a new cafe in Jongno 5-ga Gwangjang Market, showcases a vivid branding within the market known for its bustling atmosphere filled with the scents of various foods like 'mayak gimbap,' pollock stew, and grilled intestines. The market, always crowded, offers the joy of experiencing the comfort and pleasure of being amid the bustling environment. Onion's bold decision to open its 4th branch here reflects its clear vision and desire to mark its presence in this unique location. The cafe is designed as an open space, allowing customers to enjoy their time as if they were sitting in the market enjoying tteokbokki or having a shot of soju before. Arriving about 20 minutes before opening, the narrator was the first customer, witnessing the gradual arrival of others and the beautiful interactions between market vendors and Onion's staff, hoping Onion becomes a positive influence in the market. Coffee at Onion uses Barista Kim Sa-hong's blend, offering a rich and sweet taste. The market's ambiance is complemented by a selection of Korean old pop songs, suggesting city pop as another genre fitting for Seoul's center, adding a retro vibe.
