Gwibigo (Yeonorang Seonyeo Theme Park)
연오랑세오녀테마공원 귀비고 · Gyeongbuk · Theme parks & experiences
The legend of Yeonorang and Seonyo, a cornerstone of Pohang’s folklore, stands as Korea’s most significant solar and lunar myth. The tale tells of a devoted couple whose departure from the ancient Silla Kingdom for Japan caused the sun and moon to lose their light, plunging the land into darkness. According to the myth, the light was restored only after a ritual was performed using silk woven by Seonyo. Today, this story is preserved at Gywibigo, an exhibition hall located within the Yeonorang Seonyo Theme Park. The facility functions as a cultural space that combines regional storytelling with modern technology, featuring dedicated areas for animations, VR, and media exhibits. Through various educational programs and special exhibitions, the center provides visitors with an accessible way to explore the historical and aesthetic significance of this ancient narrative.
