Once famous as one of Korea's three largest dog meat markets, Moran Market has undergone major changes. With the closure of slaughter facilities and the passage of a law banning dog farms, slaughter and sales effective from 2027, most external signs in the market have removed references to dog meat, though restaurants and shops still sell it.
