The Legend

The tale of 'Seon-nyeo wa Namugun' (선녀와 나무꾼) is a Korean folklore about the marriage between a human woodcutter and a celestial fairy, where the woodcutter steals the fairy's clothes and forces her to become his wife. This story is sometimes compared to the narrative of the swan maiden found in legends across Eurasia.

Variants

This story is very common in Korea, with at least 25 recorded variants nationwide. Some scholars suggest that the Korean swan maiden story may have migrated to Japan. For example, there is a version where a woodcutter in Gangwon-do hides a deer, and that deer guides him to the place where the fairies bathe. In this version, the woodcutter also steals the fairy's clothes to marry her, and eventually, the fairy returns to the heavens with her children.
