The Busan Cooperative Fish Market (BCFM; Korean: 부산공동어시장) is the largest fish market in South Korea. It adjoins the South Harbor in Busan. More than 30% of the country's fish production passes through the market. In recent years, a large percentage of the catch has been made up of yellowtail, due to warming waters in the Sea of Japan. The market occupies an area of 166,420 m2, of which about 10% is a refrigerated working area.The market first opened on November 1, 1963, at the present-day site of the Busan International Ferry Terminal. It moved to its present location in 1973.

Gukje Market (Korean: 국제시장) or Nampodong International Market is a market in Sinchang-dong, Jung District, Busan, South Korea. It was originally known by the name Dottaegi Market, and later as Jayu Market. The market was founded in 1945 under the name Dotegi Market in an empty lot. It sold goods left behind by the Japanese during their departure from Korea after the Japanese Colonial Period ended. Items procured from foreign trade and with U.S Military members were also sold. This catapulted the rise of the markets business. In 1948 the name of the market changed to a free market and later to an international market in 1950. During the 1950–1953 Korean War, the market became a hotspot for commerce and culture, as people from all over the Korean peninsula sought refuge in the Busan area. Today Gukje Market spans 6 zones, 12 buildings, 24 spaces and countless vendors. The market now sells a diverse array of goods, particularly machinery tools, kitchenware, and clothing. Newer storefronts, restaurants, and attractions have been added in recent years. It is accessible from the Jagalchi and Nampo subway stations. It is within walking distance to two other markets, Bupyeong Market and Jagalchi Market.The market was famously depicted in the 2014 film of the same Korean name (English title Ode to My Father). The film is currently the fourth highest-grossing film in the history of South Korean cinema, with 14.2 million tickets sold.
