Harubang

Harubang ("stone grandfathers") are made from volcanic rock and are found throughout Jeju Island. They are famous throughout Korea as being the island's most important symbol. I don't know if anyone knows their original purpose, but now they're used because they attract tourists.
You always see them with their hands on their bellies, one a little higher than the other. Normally they're closer in size to a person, but we saw this monster in Seogwipo, in the south of the island. Dad looks like he wants to kick someone's ass, probably mine.
