Najeong Well (Korean: 경주 나정; Hanja: 慶州蘿井), is a historic well in the forest of Najeong in Gyeongju, South Korea. On 20 November 1975, it was designated Historic Site of South Korea No. 245.[1] The well is said to be the birthplace of Park Hyeokgeose, the founder of Silla.[1][2]
In popular culture
In the South Korean TV series, Hwarang: The Poet Warrior Youth, the young True bones meet here to fight, and, Najeong being a sacred place, are subject to death, a death which is avoided, by swearing to become Hwarang with allegiance not to their families but to Silla and its king.
