Hello, and welcome to Slow Night, Ancient Tales.

Tonight we continue the sixth chapter of the Korean classic novel, *The Tale of Yi Daebong*.

Tonight we follow Aehwang's radiant journey — a woman who never broke beneath hardship, and who now rises toward the highest heights the world has to offer.

Settle in, and lean into the gentle sway of this old story once more.

I hope your night tonight is untroubled and calm.

Welcome to Slow Night, Ancient Tales.
Tonight's piece is Lee Hyo-seok's 1937 essay "Autumn Leaves," adapted for easy listening. A man burns fallen leaves in his late-autumn garden, quietly reflecting on the passing of a dreamlike summer and the arrival of ordinary daily life — and a memory that resurfaces along with the smoke. Written in the lyrical, reflective style typical of 1930s Korean literature, it makes for a gentle, meditative listen before sleep.
🌙 Perfect for:
- Fans of Korean modern literature and lyrical essays
- Anyone who enjoys quiet, atmospheric pieces rather than plot-driven stories
- Listeners who prefer calm narration over ASMR

Welcome to Slow Night, Ancient Tales.
Tonight's story [Part Two] follows the Gichuk Purge of the Joseon Dynasty — a political scandal that began under King Seonjo and set off a nearly three-hundred-year dispute over the legacy of the minister Jeong Cheol, one that rose and fell with every change of political power. A quiet, reflective retelling of one of Korean history's longest-running feuds.

A traditional folktale of hardship, patience, and unexpected kindness.
🌙 Perfect for:

Welcome to Slow Night Sleep Stories.
Tonight we bring you Na Do-hyang's short story "The Female Barber." Follow a poor
student in 1920s Tokyo who pawns his sleeping clothes for fifty jeon, only to find

arithmetic of poverty and an unfamiliar flutter of the heart drift lazily together
in this drowsy summer scene — a gentle companion for falling asleep.

Tonight's sleep story takes us back to a land with no name, where six golden eggs
fell from the sky and became the kings of Gaya. This is the Garakguk-gi, the
Chronicle of Garak, from the Samguk Yusa — Korea's ancient chronicle of legends
and history.
Settle in, close your eyes, and let this ancient tale carry you gently to sleep.
