The Legend of Gwongeumseong
Far far ago, a war had broken out in the nation. Two men of great strength living the region. Gwon and Gim, led their families to flee from the battle and climbed up Mt. Seoraksan. They tried to build a fort on the mountain peak to keep the enemies from getting to themselves and their families. However, there was no rock nearby. Gwon and Gim thought for a while when Gwon suggested an idea. "I'll climb down to the brook and thow you up rocks from there, and you can catch them from up here and pile them up. We do that all night, and we'll build a fort in no times." Soon dawn led its way into dark and a fort was created on the moutain peak. Thus, the fort was named after the two men, Gwon, and Gim.
