What if a
nation began with a god from heaven, a bear who became a woman, and a child
destined to become a king?
Thousands of
years before modern Korea existed, a legendary story was born.
This is the
Legend of Dangun.
The story of
how Korea began.
Scene 1 —
Heaven Looks Upon the Earth
Long ago, the
ruler of Heaven was a powerful god named Hwanin.
Among his many
sons was Hwanung, a prince who cared deeply about humanity.
Looking down
from the heavens, Hwanung saw people struggling through hardship and
uncertainty.
He wished to
help them build a better world.
A world of
wisdom, peace, and prosperity.
Seeing his
son's noble heart, Hwanin granted him permission to descend to Earth.

Descent of Hwanung
Accompanied by
three thousand followers, Hwanung descended from Heaven.
They arrived at
a sacred mountain beneath a giant sandalwood tree.
There, Hwanung
established a divine city known as Sinsi.
The City of
God.
He taught
people agriculture, medicine, law, and morality.
Under his
guidance, civilization began to flourish.

Scene 3 — The
Tiger and the Bear
Not far from
Sinsi lived a tiger and a bear.
They admired
Hwanung and dreamed of becoming human.
One day, they
approached him and begged for his help.
Hwanung
listened carefully.
Then he gave
them twenty cloves of garlic and sacred mugwort.
He gave them a
challenge.
"Remain
inside a dark cave. Eat only these foods and avoid sunlight."
"If you
endure, you shall become human."

Test of Patience

the bear entered the cave.
Days passed.
The darkness
became unbearable.
The tiger grew
impatient.
Hungry and
frustrated, it abandoned the challenge and returned to the wilderness.
But the bear
remained.
Day after day.
Week after
week.
Enduring
loneliness and hardship.

Bear Becomes a Woman
At last, after
twenty-one days of unwavering patience, a miracle occurred.

transformed into a beautiful woman.
She became
known as Ungnyeo.
The Bear Woman.
Yet despite
becoming human, she felt alone.
She longed for
a family and prayed beneath a sacred tree.

a son.

Dangun.

Heaven and Earth.
A child
destined for greatness.
