• The Story of Heungbu and Nolbu Aug 13, 2025

  

  In a small village during the Joseon Dynasty, there lived two brothers who were as different as night and day. The elder brother was named Nolbu, and the younger was called Heungbu. Though they shared the same blood and were raised in the same household, their hearts and characters could not have been more opposite.

  Nolbu, the elder brother, had inherited the family’s wealth and land when their parents died. He owned large rice fields, a grand house with many rooms, and numerous servants to attend to his every need. However, wealth had made Nolbu greedy, selfish, and hard-hearted. He cared for nothing but accumulating more riches and had no compassion for anyone, not even his own brother.
