'Samgukyusamyeon' Established in Gunwi-gun, Gyeongbuk... Highlighting the Hometown of Monk Ilyeon
Goro-myeon Name to Be Changed Starting January Next Year
[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Dong-wook] The name of Goro-myeon in Gunwi-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do, known as the hometown where the monk Il-yeon of the Goryeo Dynasty wrote the Samguk Yusa, will be changed to 'Samguk Yusa-myeon.'
Gunwi-gun has been promoting the name change reflecting that Il-yeon (1206?1289) wrote the Samguk Yusa in his later years and passed away at Ingaksa Temple in Goro-myeon. In a resident survey conducted from the 15th to the 19th targeting 852 households in Goro-myeon, among the 486 households (57%) who participated, 407 households (83.7%) supported the name change.
The county plans to use the new name starting January next year after revising ordinances, organizing official documents, and replacing facilities, reflecting the results of resident opinion collection and the name change status survey.
