An interesting aside on the "haneunim" issue:

One Korean friend of mine says that there has been
speculation that "Hwanin" and "Hwanung" from the
Dan-gun story are just idu representations of "haneunim"
or "haneul." In view of their role in the myth, this does
seem plausible, but unfortunately there is no documentary
proof of this, as far as I have been able to determine.
