SHAMAN’S GATE
BEAR WOMAN OF KOREA
IN ANCIENT KOREAN LEGEND, THE RULER OF HEAVEN HAD A SON NAMED HWANGUNG. HWANGUNG DESCENDED TO THE GREAT WHITE MOUNTAIN WHERE HE CREATED THE SACRED CITY. WITH EARL OF WIND, MASTER OF RAIN AND THE
MASTER OF CLOUDS, HWANGUNG TAUGHT HUMAN BEINGS HOW TO SURVIVE, HOW TO HEAL THEMSELVES AND THE BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RIGHT AND WRONG.
IN A CAVE ON WHITE MOUNTAIN LIVED A BEAR AND A TIGER. BOTH WANTED TO BE HUMAN. THEY ASKED HWANGUNG FOR HELP. HWANGUNG GAVE THEM SPECIAL FOOD TO EAT AND TOLD THEM TO STAY OUT OF THE SUN FOR 21 DAYS.
BEAR AND TIGER WENT BACK TO THEIR CAVE AND BEGAN THEIR TEST. TIGER FAILED, BEAR SUCCEEDED. AS A REWARD HWANGUNG GAVE BEAR THE BEST GIFT POSSIBLE.
BEAR BECAME A WOMAN.
