The Birth of Dangun | A Korean Legend of Heaven, Endurance and Destiny | A Simple Tale

Simple Tales presents the ancient Korean foundation myth The Birth of Dangun—the legendary story of how the heavenly prince Hwanung and the bear-turned-woman Ungnyeo gave rise to Korea's first kingdom.

When Hwanung descends from Heaven with three thousand followers to establish a city on Mount Taebaek, a bear and a tiger seek his divine gift to become human. Given only sacred mugwort and garlic, they are tasked with enduring twenty-one days in a dark cave away from the sun. While the restless tiger flees, the patient bear perseveres and transforms into a woman named Ungnyeo. Her prayers for a child lead to the birth of Dangun Wanggeom, the legendary founder of Gojoseon.
