Welcome to Haesindang Park. The following Tabblo may not be suitable for children under 18. For those of you who know me, you may find it hard believe, I actually have been playing a moral tug of war with myself in making this one. What it came down to, is that they are in fact works of art, displaying an old traditional Korean legend, and the park itself allows minors to enter.

The shorter version of the legend, as I understand it. (Therefore it may not be 100% correct). Is that a young couple were in love, and had just been married. The man was a local fisherman. Both of them were virgins, and were out enjoying a romantic evening together. A large storm hit the small village that night while the 2 were out. The young wife (seen above) was out on some rocks and was pulled into the sea by a large wave that had been caused by the storm. By the time the young man was able to get to the rock where she had been, it was too late, and she had been swept to sea, and died a virgin. The next day after the weather had cleared the village fishermen went out to fish. After an entire day out on the water, no one had caught any fish. They felt that it was the ghost of the young virgin wife that was preventing them from catching fish. So the next day the fishermen carved out wooden penises and threw them into the sea. This apparently made the ghost happy, and the fishermen caught a large haul of fish. This park was erected (pun intended), I'm guessing, to show and honour the legend, as well as a good luck thing for the local fishermen.
