Jeil Market traces its postwar organisation to a public market association formed in 1954, while the modern wholesale-retail complex was completed in 1978. Those are two milestones, not one founding date. The market served Uijeongbu and the wider northern Gyeonggi region through food, clothing, milling and household trade; soldiers were customers but did not define the whole market. Its blocks, central crossroads, nearby Uijeongbu Market and Haengbok-ro connect but have different operating scopes. Current shop and parking numbers need dates. Verify opening information, keep loading aisles clear, ask before photographing and compare morning, afternoon, weekday and weekend functions rather than judging the market from one crowd.
