About This Book
A collaboration of novelist Hong and the writers for the
hit TV series "Jumong". A total of 5 volumes is planned to be published.
Jumong was the son of Haemosu and Yuhwa of the Habaek nation. Haemosu
was said to have been the son of Heaven who came riding down in a
chariot driven by five dragons. He established Bukbuyeo, and was said to
have met Yuhwa, the daughter of the river-god Habaek, by a river where
she was bathing. The two got very close and married, nevertheless the
opposition of Yuhwa's father. Later Haemosu had to return to heaven and
disappeared. Habaek found out and chased Yuhwa away to Wobalsu. She then
met Emperor Geumwa of Dongbuyeo. Geumwa took her in and supposedly gave
her the title of Royal concubine, since he knew that Yuhwa is a wife of
Bukbuyeo's king, Haemosu. Oneday, the sunlight shined on Yuwha. Although
she tried to avoid the light, it followed her and shined on her. Since
then, she was pregnant. When the time to give birth, she laid an egg
instead of giving birth to a child. Hearing this, Geumwa became very
frightened and tried to break it, but was not able to do so. Then he
trashed the egg, and let the animals eat it. However the animals
protected the egg. Thereby Geumwa returned it to its mother. Out of the
egg came a baby boy. Yuhwa named her child 'Jumong,' which was said to
mean "skilled archer."
