Najeong Well, designated South Korean historic site No 245, on 20 November 1975,[1] is located in the sacred ("religious") forest of Najeong in Gyeongju. The well is said to be the birthplace of Park Hyeokgeose, the founder of Silla.[2]
In the South Korean TV series,, 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.
