"Three-legged Bird" ('Sam-jok-oh' in Korean)
A symbol of Seoul International Drama Awards
In ancient mythology, the ‘three-legged bird’
symbolizes the sun and predicts the future.
As you can see from the name, the bird has three legs. Many assumptions exist for the meaning of the number of its legs; some historians and archeologists say among the positive numbers '3' stands for 'perfection' according to the 'Yin Yang' theory. So ancient people believed the bird living in the sun had three legs. Some people explain that each leg means the air, earth, and human beings respectively.
