The story of the land that became the sea one day

image text translation

In Chilsan Village in Jeolla-do

There was an old man with a surname of Seo

One day, a stranger came to my house

I asked for a night’s stay

The old man is generous to strangers

I treated him

image text translation

The next day, a stranger left and said

From now on, Chilsan Village will be the sea

I told him to leave quickly

The old man who was surprised by this

When I asked when it was

image text translation

in that mountain

in the eyes and ears of a stone Buddha

It’s gonna bleed

That’s what he said

From that day on, the old man

Every morning, I climb a mountain

There’s nothing wrong with the stone Buddha

I went to check

The villagers who thought it was so weird

Why do you ask the old man every morning

Let’s ask him if he’s climbing a mountain

The old man said what the stranger had said

I told you exactly as it is

The villagers are crazy inspirations

He mocked the old man

image text translation

to make fun of the old man

Secretly, in the eyes and ears of the Buddha at night

I put on some blood

image text translation

The old man who climbed the mountain the next morning

When I saw the bleeding stone Buddha

I came down to the village in a panic

I shouted, “We need to run away

The villagers only laughed at the old man

That’s how you leave town

The old man who was climbing the mountain

image text translation

on the hillside

I met a salt seller

The salt seller laughed

I’m telling you

Old man, you can stop now

The sea water goes up to your ankles

It’s going to stop

That’s what I said

as the salt seller said

a forklift full of water up to one’s ankles

I looked back

image text translation

The mountain path that the old man walked on

It was covered with blue water

This is how Chilsan Village is filled with water

It became the sea of Chilsan

(1)- In “NITIENNINE”

The Seven Gorges

It is said that it became Chilsando Island

Yeonggwang-gun, Jeollanam-do

on Chilsan Island and the sea of Chilsan

It’s a legend
