Selene's Korean Folktales

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 myself right now. But anyways. This is well known among our people like 'Gyeonwoo and Jingnyeo'. But more famous than that. So I hope you enjoy this story 🙂 Oh, lastly, when I was recording this episode, I wondered if the golden ax and the Silver ax would be useful if you tried to chop the wood with it. PRO-BABLY NOT. I think Dolsoe would have sold it afterwards.

Sorry it took a while : I had lots of things going on. I'll try to post episodes once in every two weeks or so. 😊

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 think differently about this certain word. Anyway, I really enjoyed translating this story, and I will try to upload episodes every two weeks or so. 🙂 I hope you enjoy this story!

토끼의 재판

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'll enjoy the story :)

A folklore, also a funny story

This time, it took me a while to translate this story. Seeing that it took a lot of time, I hope you guys enjoy this story!😀 'The Tiger(호랑이) and the Gojgam(곶감)' is a very interesting story. And I wanted to introduce this story to you. While reading the story though, I really wanted to eat Gojgam(곶감)... Also, look at the cow! Hilarious..

호랑이와 곶감

Korean folklore, also a love story

There was a maiden named Jingnyeo(직녀) who was good at weaving fabrics. There also was a young man called Gyeonwoo(견우), who was good with cows. This story is about their sad and tragic love story.
