The second-floor Youth Mall at Jeonju Nambu Market, around 53 Pungnammun 2-gil, can be difficult to reach via the older, steep stairs at Market Building 6. The Korea Tourism Organization's October 2026 accessible itinerary describes an alternative route: enter nearby Munhwa Gongpanjang Jakdang on the ground floor, use its lift and the connecting second-floor walkway to the Youth Mall. If stairs are difficult or you have a stroller/wheelchair, locate Jakdang before moving through the market. A ground-floor café in the Jakdang building may close irregularly, so confirm whether the building lift and walkway are accessible on your visiting day. General mall hours shown as 11:00–23:00 vary between individual shops.
