Why the name Yooldo?
The Tale of Hong Gil-Dong
Source
- Yuldo is a fictional island in the novel "Hong Gildongjeon" written by Heo Gyun.
- Yuldo is located in the ocean across the sea, and it is depicted as an ideal place where people live in peace and harmony with nature.
- Hong Gildong organized the Hallbindang in Yuldo to steal the wealth of corrupt officials and distribute it to the poor. He also drove out the king of Yuldo who was neglecting his people and became the king himself, ruling the people as well.
- The exact location of Yuldo is not known, but Wido Island in Buan County, North Jeolla Province is known to be the place that inspired the creation of "Hong Gildongjeon". Wido Island is a 40-minute boat ride from Geoppo Port and is also known as Hedgehog Island. It is a famous tourist destination with beautiful coastal scenery and abundant natural environment.
- Yuldo is an important symbolic space in "Hong Gildongjeon". Hong Gildong's realization of an ideal world in Yuldo and his search for freedom from the oppression of Joseon Dyansty can be seen as an reflection of the author's consciousness of criticizing the contradictions and oppression of Joseon society as well as dreaming of an ideal society.
Why we choose the name, Yooldo(Yuldo) [jul:dɔ]
- Yooldo is a well-known Korean folktale about a hero who fights against injustice. This makes it a natural fit for a web3 gaming project, which is all about giving players more control over their gaming experience and allowing them to participate in a more equitable and transparent gaming economy.
- Yooldo is a story about freedom and self-determination. These are also core values of web3, which is about giving people more control over their own data and assets.
- Yooldo is a story about community. Web3 games are often built on the principles of decentralization and community ownership, which are similar to the values of the Yooldo community.
The project wants to do the same as Hong Gildong did by creating a game that allows players to fight against injustice and oppression, and to build a more equitable and transparent gaming economy. The game will also be built on the principles of decentralization and community ownership, so that players can have more control over their gaming experience.
We believe that Yooldo (Yuldo) has the potential to be a groundbreaking web3 game that gives players the freedom to play, own, and earn. We are excited to bring this game to life and to create a new standard for gaming.
