북한산 사모바위 (Samobawi Rock in Bukhansan Mountain)
There is a magnificent mass of rock called Samobawi Rock in the middle of the ridge of Bibong Peak in Bukhansan Mountain. It is also called Kim Shin-jo Rock because North Korea's Kim Shin-jo and his party were dispatched to the south to attack Cheong Wa Dae in January 1968 and spent the night here.
Samo is a hat worn by officials during the Joseon Dynasty when wearing official uniforms, and this rock actually looks similar to Samo. A sad legend is handed down on the rock.
When a beloved woman was taken to Cheong during the Manchu Invasion of Joseon by King Cheongtaejong, a man who was waiting for her climbed Bukhansan Mountain and shed tears while looking north of Cheong and became a rock.
