✦ About
Cheoyong was the son of the Dragon King of the Eastern Sea who came ashore and married a beautiful woman. When he found a plague spirit with his wife, he sang and danced rather than fight—so impressing the spirit that it fled, promising never to enter a home with Cheoyong's image.
✦ Famous Story
Cheoyong's image was painted on gates throughout Korea to ward off evil spirits, and his dance became a court ritual for protection.
