    Before Hwasun became an administrative community in the Japanese Empire, individual culture was formed along three rivers: Jiseokcheon River to Neungju, Hwasuncheon River to Hwasun, and Dongbokcheon River to Dongbok. Recently relics in the Stone Age(residential remains) and in the Middle Stone Age were found in Juam Dam at Daejeon Village, Sasu-ri, Nam-myeon, showing that people lived from old times. Bronze Age remains include 1,180 dolmens and a variety of remains excavated in a stone-lines tomb at Daegok-ri(including National Tresture No. 143, bronze knife and bronze mirror). A pit-tomb in the Baekje Period was found at the site of Unjusa Temple.

    How Things Are

    by: Zwan

    Away i fall to you
    To stay silent no more
    Anyone with a clue wouldn't do as i've done
    But the fear that you know is the fear you become to love
    I want to say
    I want to go
    I'm so afraid
    To be alone
    All right, it's time for the truth
    My love means more than i ever will
    Anyone this confused needs someone show them the way to
    If i just find the strength to forget myself
    I want it all
    I want nothing
    I'm so afraid
    I'm so afraid
    I want to stay
    I want to go
    I'm so afraid
    To be alone
    Is this how my life is supposed to be
    It's not enough, but too much for my heart to hold
    Is this how my life is supposed to be
