The legend of ChoonHyang is a pretty famous one.

Also, there is the story of the sun and the moon. The sun is a beautiful woman and the moon is a boy that loves her.

There is also the children's story about the frog. xd Oh boy did I hear that one a lot when I was younger. Chuhn GaeGuRi.

Myth:

If you leave the fan on, and close the door, you can suffocate and die.

Don't know if it's true.

It's true; it's happened to a lot of people in Korea. In fact, I knew one guy in my old high school who died like that. The same goes for the air conditioning.

Actually, I'm pretty sure it must have been made into manhwas a lot... it's such a popular story. whee There is even a Japanese manga by CLAMP that adapted the story. 3nodding

As for the frog... xd It's such a sad story - it's really good at making a kid feel guilt-ridden and plays on the fear of a parent dying. crying xd

Hmm.. there's lots of post but no one posted a myth.. lol! So I'll TRY to tell one. It might not be as good cuz.. well i've read them in korean. ^^;

Since I'm into drama Jumong right now, I'll tell you a myth about him.
oh just to tell you guys.. im okay with translating, but I SUCK at writing the pronounsation in english.. sweatdrop

"Who hatched from an egg, Goh-Jumong" - 알에서 나온 고주몽

King of Buh-Yuh (부여), Khem-Wah (금와) went to picnic outside of the temple.
He met a beautiful women by the river bank and ordered his servants to bring her forth.
He asked her, "who are you?"
"I am daughter of Hah-Beck (하백), Yooh-Hwah(유화)" She answered the king.
Hah-Beck was the river-god.
Interested, the king took her into his castle/temple (I'm referring to 궁궐).

King gave a room to Yooh-Hwah, letting her stay there.
But very strange events followed: A bright sun-light has followed her into the room.
