Bakdaljae

There are some popular and old songs that everyone knows in Korea. Among them, ‘Bakdaljae crying over’ is related to the place where I’ll introduce today.

When you hear this song, you might feel so sad. Do you know the song has a sad story?

Long ago, a countryside scholar named Bakdal was on the way to Seoul to take Gwageo, the highest-level state examination to recruit ranking officials. Because it takes several days to get Seoul, he decided to stay in a village in Jecheon. He wanted to stay a farmer’s house and the farmer has beautiful daughter named Geumbong. As you can guess, Bakdal and Geumbong fell in love each other. However, he couldn’t help leaving the village to take a test.

He arrived Seoul, but he couldn’t concentrate his study and examination because of her. So, he failed the examination. So did Geumbong. She waited and prayed for him at the hill all day long, and as time went by, eventually she got tired of wating and died. She had already died when Bakdal returned to the village. He lost his composure and cried at the hill where she had waited for him. Suddenly, he saw the phantom of her and hugged. He died there, too. Because the place he stood was cliff. After that, people called this hill ‘Bakdaljae’.

Visit here, and you can feel the heartrending love of them.

Jangheung Jeongnamjin Saturday Market

 Have you ever heard about Jangheung? It is a little strange place for both foreigner and some Koreans located in Jeollanam-do, KOREA. It is a place in the cleanest environments because Korea government has propelled national land development except Jangheung. So, environment and people in it are too clean and pure. This is why we called it ‘saved land’.

Jangheung Market is also keeping pure and traditional things like Jangheung. Do you know ‘Daemul’, a famous Korean drama which was the first drama to deal with a female president along with politics and government power around her? It was in Jangheung Market that Kwon sang woo’s father ran the Gukbap restaurant in the drama.

Although it is not that big, it is crowded with lots of people in the market day. It became famous through word of mouth and many tourists visited here. So, the county decided to throw a market on Saturdays to encourage urbanities to visit the market. It is the first weekend market in Korea.

The most interesting thing in this market is that you can see grandmas who pin a name tags such as ‘Yunhwa’ and ‘Jeongja’. They are authorized vendors who sell handmade foods and greens. The county and granmas have confidence in this system and we can buy products with trust.

Do you wonder the charm of saved land, Jangheung?
