On Jeju Island, there are three holes in the ground, known as Samseonghyeol. This is the site where three demi-gods emerged in the era before the island was inhabited. The three are known as Go, Yang and Bu, and are also seen as the progenitors of those three family names, still prominents in the island today. The three lived by hunting and gathering until the arrival one day of a ship onto the beach with three princesses from the Kingdom of Byeongang. The princesses became brides for the demi-gods and brought with them cattle and horses as well as five different seeds to establish agriculture on the island.
