The parents of Sara Doryeong and Wongang Ami promised that their children would marry each other in the future.
But one day, Sara Doryeong dreamed that the supreme deity, Okhwang Sangje, was summoning him to be the Igong (also known as Kkotgamdok, literally 'administrator of flowers'), the guardian of the Fields of Seocheon.
Still, Sara Doryeong and Wongang Ami was forced to go west to the Fields of Seocheon once they had the same dream for three nights.
Sara Doryeong left, telling Wongang Ami to name the child Hallakgungi if he was male and Hallakdegi if she was female.
That night, Cheonnyeon Jangja appeared again, trying to force Wongang Ami into sexual union again, as the child was born.
Cheonnyeon Jangja was enraged by the constant refusals, and attempted to kill Wongang Ami.
When Hallakgungi reached the mountain, a gigantic wild boar appeared and plowed down all the trees.
Cheonnyeon Jangja was surprised by the extremely fast fulfillment of his orders, but then gave a new task to Hallakgungi.
When Hallakgungi returned to the field, a colony of Carpenter ants had already stacked the millet seeds in a careful pile.
When Hallakgungi stepped out of Cheonnyeon Jangja's mansion, a single carpenter ant was waiting for him out the gate.
Cheonnyeon Jangja then approached Wongang Ami, and tried to force her once again to have sexual intercourse with him, as Hallakgungi now plowed the fields.
Wongang Ami took the broken comb and gave it to her son, and told Hallakgungi that his father was Sara Doryeong, who was now the deity Igong, the guardian of the Fields of Seocheon.
Finally, Cheonnyeon Jangja cut off Wongang Ami's head, legs and arms, and fed her remains to the crows in the Field of Cheongdae.
Hallakgungi was continuing the way to the Fields of Seocheon when he encountered a white river as high as the knee.
When Sara Doryeong was informed of this mysterious plague, he went to the willow tree and asked Hallakgungi who he was.
Sara Doryeong said that the three multicolored rivers were composed of the tears of Wongang Ami during her three tortures.
Hallakgungi told the third daughter of Cheonnyeon Jangja to cover her eyes, then finally revealed the Suremyeolmangakshimkkot.
Thus, from that day, women made hair oil from rose of winter fruit and make a cane from empress tree wood.
Like nearly all Korean oral myths, the Igong Bonpuli is part of a Gut, or shamanistic ritual.
The Field of Seocheon is a highly important setting in Korean mythology, but especially in Jeju Island.
The Igong Bonpuli bears a striking similarity to the eighth chapter of the Buddhist book Wolin Seokbo.
[3] The eighth chapter of the Wolin Seokbo is a piece of Buddhist mythology about the Crown Prince Anrakguk.
The plot is also similar; Anrakguk revives his mother Wonang Buin, who was murdered when Jahyeon Jangja stabbed her with a sword, with lotus flowers given by his father Great King Sarasu.
First is a myth in the Ganggye region of North Korea, which is called the Sinseon Setyeonnim Cheongbae.
Another is the Yakyangguk Wangja Norae myth, literally 'Song of the Prince of the State of Yakyang', retold in the Gimhae region.
