⭐️Grandpa Stone Statue: DolHaRuBang 돌하르방

You'll see this grandpa stone statue everywhere in Jeju island.

돌 Dol = Stone

하르방 HaRuBang = Jeju's island dialect for 할아버지 HalAhBuhJi = Grandfather


Jeju island dialect is unique, and most Koreans from the mainland cannot decipher this dialect.


⭐️You'll see stone fences all over Jeju island. These stone fences are layered by professionals, and it can withstand hurricane winds, without budging an inch!
