Dangun

Album cover for A Merging to the Boundless: Void of Voyce by Stargazer (Was used without credit for over a year) (Was used in a state where it was almost impossible to find the original artist) (People only know this now because the original poster of that image came out and informed others)

"Elon Musk said that the need to credit artists is destroying the medium, the problem is that Elon Musk was a stupid liar." This page in question has one or more images that aren't credited properly. Whether this be because the artist can't be found or the one who added the image was lazy, this needs to be fixed.

	— Carl Black

Dangun was the legendary founder and god-king of Gojoseon, the first Kingdom of Korea.

Overview

Due to his heritage, he got the titles "grandson of heaven" and "son of a bear", referring to his grandfather Haneullim, and his mother the bear.

History

He was the son of Hwanung, who in turn was the son of sky god Haneullim, and the female bear Ungnyeo who wanted to become a human.

The bear was ordered by the Korean gods to spend 100 days in a cave, eating only artemisia and garlic, before becoming a human woman. Soon she seeked an husband, but couldn't find one, so Hwanung, agreed to marry her and together they had a son, Dangun.
