[KS] legend of mangbusok

[Bill McCloy]

If you search the han’gul 망부석 from Korean Google, there are a number of
hits, including some that look like they discuss the legend and some that
look like they are discussing various formations by that name.  If you
click on the following link, it should lead you to that result set:

&q=%EB%A7%9D%EB%B6%80%EC%84%9D&lr= 

 

Hope this helps!
