SeoulBox now has a lot to explain about the new journey with one of the most beautiful and mystical creature found in South Korea, Seoul called Haechi! Let us know more about this amazing and exciting journey in details. 가자 !!!

What Is HAECHI?

The Xiezhi (Chinese mythology creature) is known as Haetae (해태) especially in South Korea. According to the records, Haetae's body is muscular and shaped like a lion and has a horn on its forehead. It has a bell in its neck and the body is covered with sharp scales.

During ancient decades, Haetae were used in building architectural sculptures during the early Joseon Dynasty as their image was trusted to be able to protect and guard Hanyang (now Seoul) from natural disasters and to give law and justice among the people. In Korea, haetae is a mythical beast that prevents fire disaster. To prevent fire in Gyeongbok palace, this magnificent creature’s  sculpture was built and placed in front of the palace. Seoul city has officially used Haechi (origin of Haetae) as the symbol of Seoul since 2009.

In English, it is called "the unicorn-lion" or "an omniscient mythical beast".
