Korean Folktales in English

The Two Brothers

"The Two Brothers" is a Korean folktale based on a true story of two Korean brothers named Sung Man and Sook Lee, who lived during the late Koryo and early Chosun period. The Lee brothers were from the province called Choongcheongnam-do. The Lee brothers were not only kind to one another, but their love and respect for their parents were so great that in 1420, King Saejong gave them a special reward for their filial piety. The story of their brotherly love and devotion to each other, and their family, led to this famous Korean folktale. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app [https://anchor.fm/app]--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/esther-song9/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/esther-song9/support [https://anchor.fm/esther-song9/support]
