Seon-nye and the woodcutter(선녀와 나무꾼) A folklore, also a sad, heartbreaking story. "Seon-nye and the woodcutter" is pretty popular. I chose this folklore as my 11th episode story because for those who don't know this story. After you read this book, you might learn why roosters cry so early in the morning. Or how roosters were created.... Before listening to this story, I recommend something....

Mangjuseog Trial(망주석 재판) A folklore, also a hilarious story. To be honest, I had forgotten about this story, but once I read it, I remembered it clearly. This folklore is really awesome. The title itself might not sound interesting to you, but it's one of the most funny stories. I think. While you're listening to my episodes, you might hear some grammar problems or pronunciation problem.😅 I...

One grain of millet(좁쌀 한 톨) A folklore, also a spectacular story. I really hope you enjoyed this folklore as I did long ago when I first heard this story. In case you were wondering, that instrument you hear in every episode is called 'Kalimba'. I just realized that my kalimba wasn't tuned well in my last episode, 'Deadline hill' Since this is the first episode of 2022... Happy new year🥳 and...

Deadline hill(삼년고개) A folklore, also a funny-thinking story. I keep thinking : what if the story was true and the hill really existed? I think the answer is, a disaster. If everyone had the chance of living forever, not dying, then the world would surely be a mess. Though I'm pretty sure I would be tempted if the deadline hill really was real. Hmm...probably. Okay. Time for me to go to sleep....

Magic Millstone(요술 맷돌) A folklore, also a famous story. Maetdol(Millstone) : 맷돌 Do you know why sea is salty? Well, if you don't know why, then listen to this story! This story is a guide to those of you who want to know why the sea has salt in its water. The story itself is really enjoyable because it has an interesting theory to explain why sea is salty. I myself too, like this folklore. S...

Golden ax Silver ax(금도끼 은도끼) A folklore, also a famous story. Meogsoe : 먹쇠 Dolsoe : 돌쇠 Some of you might be wondering about the title. Why I didn't put ',' this or 'and' between the two words. Quite simple, actually. I wanted to put a Korean vibe into it. It's TOTALLY understandable if you don't understand what I am saying right now, cause I'm not entirely sure it I'M understanding mysel...

Selene's Korean Folklore A Trial held by a Wise Rabbit(토끼의 재판) A folklore, also a good story. A Trial held by a Wise Rabbit(토끼의 재판) is one of my favorite Korean folklores. I especially like the rabbit, because when I first read it, I didn't know that the rabbit was playing innocent and stupid to get the tiger go inside the box(괘짝). I had trouble explaining seonbi(선비), because people...

A folklore, also a funny story The magic(요술) fan(부채). It's a creative story. It took me awhile because of some mechanical problems. Sorry if I make pronounciation problems! In this story, there are beautiful ladies called Seonnyeo. Make sure you remember them! 'Cause they appear in many Korean folklores. I picked the story because I need some magic nowadays. I'll try to upload soon. I hope you...
