There is a legend about Yu-hwa, daughter of god-king Ha-Baek and goddess of willow trees. Like all Korean legends, it has a thousand branching versions, but they all start with the god-king Hae Mo-Su, who sees Yu-hwa and her two sisters playing by the riverside, lusts after them, and formulates a plan. He builds a gorgeous palace and holds a banquet, plies them with alcohol, and blocks the exit, trapping Yu-hwa. Ha-Baek summons his dragon chariot, rides to Hae Mo-Su’s new palace, and challenges him to a duel of transformations. Ha-Baek slips into the water as a carp; Hae Mo-Su becomes an otter and catches him. Ha-Baek turns into a pheasant; Hae Mo-Su plucks him out of the sky as a hawk. In the final round, Hae Mo-Su’s wolf runs down Ha-Baek’s deer, and Yuhwa’s father has no choice but to concede her hand in marriage. He loads the couple into a leather bag to carry them into the heavens—but the marriage never happens, although the reason depends on your version of the story. Did Yu-hwa escape? Or did Hae Mo-Su wake up inside of the bag and change his mind before stealing Yu-hwa’s hairpin and cutting his way out? Either way, Ha-Baek sees his daughter is now damaged goods. He stretches her lips out until she can’t speak and exiles her to the bottom of a pond. Eventually, she is recovered by some fishermen, who cut her lips open and take her to their king … who promptly falls in love with her and locks her away, until the day that she gives birth to the future ruler of the kingdom of Goguryeo. And it is for this, more than anything else, that she is remembered—as if her status as the mother of someone important makes up for everything that happened to her.
